HBO's In Treatment-n-Park Slope

FIPS reader Chris sent in this great little missive on HBO's series In Treatment and how it relates to Park Slope. Read on and get yourselves ed-u-ma-cated.

On HBO's In Treatment, the main character, Paul Weston (or as I like to call him, Paul Treatment, the titular character on In Treatment) moved to Park Slope at the beginning of Season 2 after getting divorced from the evil lady from the second season of True Blood and leaving Baltimore (Arlington, not the part where The Wire was set) at the end of Season 1. Finally, finally in the 14th episode of Season 3, we discover where he lives and works: 229 Garfield Place in Park Slope, an avenue and a half from Prospect Park. 

Here are some shots of Paul and his daughter leaving his apartment and walking around the corner on to Polhemus Place:

Earlier in Season 3 before we know where exactly he lives, a patient, Sunil, asks how to get to Prospect Park. 

Sunil: How do I get to Prospect Park?

Paul: Prospect park, that's easy. You go out, you turn left, past the coffee shop on the corner, across the main drag...

Sunil, interrupting: I will, I'll be fine... no problem

Paul: So you know where you're going. Just turn left on Atlantic...

Sunil, interrupting: I'll be fine.

Park Slope is a grid. The instructions would either be: walk uphill up the street until you hit the park or make a left/right at the corner and walk uphill up the street until you hit the park. Atlantic Avenue, WTF? What kind of magical Park Slope world does he live in???

What kind of magical world, indeed.

Speaking of Park Slope and HBO, when the hell is that Amy Sohn Sex & The City 2.0 show gonna drop that's supposedly all about Brooklyn BREEDERS??
