'Crafting My Vision' For Park Slope: STFU And Stop Being Dumb

OMGZ, this article by Smartmom for the Park Slope Patch makes me wanna poke my eyes out with rusty nails and then flush my bloody eye sockets out with pickle juice: Crafting a Vision For Park Slope.

Clearly inspired (though not sourced) by the retarded article from the L Magazine last week, which claimed that N. Slope was "awful" because all of our video stores are closing down, Smartmom attempts to summarize the "sacrifices" that we as a community will need to make in order to support local businesses and ensure that 7th avenue doesn't become a "strip mall."

Gag me with a spoon so hard.

Here's Park Slope: Goodbye Soup Bowl, Hello Culture

Another week, more burgers, and the rise of Jennifer McMillen. Here's your weekly roundup of news from Here's Park Slope.

On Monday, the legendary soups of Chef Richard Gussoff said goodbye for the season, as The Soup Bowl, on Seventh Ave just north of Ninth Street, said farewell. Uncle Louie G should be opening back up in that spot pretty soon, and we can most likely look forward to several Soup Bowls come next winter. Fez Salon and its hero, Rudy, also picked up and moved two doors down, into the space last occupied by Under the Pig Collectibles.

Tuesday finally brought March, and with it came the grand opening of Cheeburger Cheeburger, the Florida based chain, in the former Miracle Grill space on Seventh and Third. The burgers are greasy, the onion rings are awesome, and the room is pink. And that's the last time I'll be writing about Cheeburger Cheeburger. Signage also went up in the windows of the former Willie's Dawgs, on Fifth Ave between Fourth and Fifth, for a new Peruvian bistro named Surfish. I also had a chat with the nice lady who'll be running the new artisanal yogurt shop, Culture, coming to the old Serene Rose space on Fifth Ave between Third and Fourth.
