FIPS Throwback Thursdayz: Rewind to 2010

 

Image credit: RoshowFIPS Throwback Thursdayz is a new semi-regular column where we ride the wayback machine into the FIPS archives to see what we were talking about in years past. Back in April of 2010, we were freaking the fuck out because Nate Silver declared in New York Magazine that Park Slope was the best neighborhood to live in New York City. Here's an excerpt of what FIPS said then:

Isn't this place already overrun with enough assholes? Now we need to worry about a new wave of assholes who are probably packing up to move here right now because of this new designation alone? 

Need I remind you, New York Magazine: WE ARE AN OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED TOXIC WASTE ZONE. We are home to some of the MOST SANCTIMONIOUS PEOPLE IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE. We shut down disgracefully early. We are overpriced and full of ourselves. You CAN'T COUNT ON YOUR FAVORITE COFFEE JOINT being open on a Saturday morning because the staff may stage a mass walkout. As one lifer told me last week, "we got no pulse anymore." In short, we are DESPICABLE in so many ways I've lost count, so please, PLEASE: don't move here!

So, do you think Park Slope would win this same honor today? Do you think that NY Magazine did anything to change the neighborhood -- for better or for worse? Holla back at us in the comments.
