New South Slope Dog Run

photo: BrownstonerThis one will be way the hell too far my N. Slope'd ass, but it looks a new dog park might be coming to 18th Street and 6th Ave!

"The group South Slope Dog — started by Pamela Brown "after being inspired to do something to improve our community at the inauguration of President Obama" — scored a major victory last week when Community Board 7 approved its petition to turn a portion of the "pocket park" abutting Prospect Expressway into a dog run. As long as they get the okay from the Parks Department, as early as this week, the roughly 3,000-square-foot path of fenced-in grass bounded by the Prospect Expressway, 18th Street and Sixth Avenue will be officially set aside for unleashed canines."

Dog park...Obama...goddammit this story is ripe for making fun of.
