Who Gives A Shit: Ghost Stroller?

photo: @aboutmattlawOk, so there are ghost bikes to commemorate the spots where unlucky bikers sadly lost their lives, and now there is a ghost stroller on the corner of Union and 6th ave to commemorate?? Uhm?

Anyone??

I'm guessing this is some smart assed hipster artist who found a stroller on the street, spraypainted it white and is now commenting on the "death of the neighborhood."

What's your theory?? Anyone have scoop??

WHO GIVES A SHIT: HAUNTED PARK SLOPE

I'm not talking about ghosts-n-shit.  I'm talking about your favorite Park Slope haunts.  With all of this Foursquare check in bullshit, we're aware—now more than ever—of the places that we hit up on a regular basis.  

Every jerk you know brags about how they're the Mayor of their office building or the Dunkin Donuts on 9th Street.  COOL, GUYS.

But let's forget about the fake accolades and badges—what are the top five places in Park Slope that you go to on a regular basis? 

Mine are:

1. New York Sports Club

2. Stone Park Cafe

3. Bar Reis

4. Jpan

5. La Bagel Delight

Spill yours.

WHO GIVES A SHIT: Park Slope Crushes?

A very, very important topic of conversation for you this Thursday morning: Do you have any weird/irrational neighborhood crushes?

I'll admit I have a shameless schoolgirl thing for one of the guys at my bike shop on 9th Street (deliberately omitting the specifics), and a buddy of mine has the hots for the dark-haired girl who tries to seduce people into Istanbul Park around 7 p.m. nightly.

So, out yourselves: Who does it for you? The chick who gives you your AM pastry at Colson?  Your bodega guy? BREEDERS, you are encouraged to get on this, too (though it's not like you have any shame, anyway).  As always, stealth-anon mode enabled in comments, in case you fear for your identity.

Who Gives a Shit: Bedbugs in Park Slope?

Ok, so as we all know by now, I'm more afraid of bedbugs than I am of Britney Spears' hair extensions (and I am VERY FUCKING afraid of those things).

I read the article in NY Mag about the bed bugs invasion on the Upper East Side, while gagging through each page of horrific rich people extermination story. But it got me curious about exactly what is or is not going down in Park Slope?

We've all heard the Pavillion rumors, but what else is going on out there? Have any of you HAD bed bugs? Have your neighbors had bed bugs? I'm not looking for wild rumors, ppl (though those are fun too), but like some actual real world experience.

ARE THESE FUCKERS COMING TO GET ME??

[Feel free to go stealth anon in the comments if you feel like keep things all private-n-shit].

Who Gives A Shit? Outdoor Concert Fashions

Reporting from Park Slope in the Catskills, the littlest and I were transported back to Yasgur's Farm this weekend to see the psychedelic, synchronistic, still superb Carlos Santana play at the site of Woodstock for the first time in 40 years. It was just us and 16,000 of the most hilariously motley assortment of concertgoers I've seen yet.

Holy shit, the fashions!
