THE NYT IS Obsessed With Us
Posted by: Erica | Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 9:05AM
Well, not "us" as in FIPS, but "us" as in Park Slope.
A recent perusal of the Grey Lady nets out:
- A tell-all on the infamous Park Slope Food Coop.
- That weird marathon story about the dude who walked around his Park Slope block 75 times with his hawt Basset Hound.
- A Bloomberg close election (!) piece in which only residents of Park Slope and Prospect Heights are quoted.
- A real estate piece (The Hunt) featuring an adorable little Park Slope fam who needed a new place after the addition of their 2nd bebe.
- A prominent shoutout in a story about dating people who live annoyingly far away from their fuck buddies.
The NYT Picker, a blog all about the goings on at the venerable newspaper, smelled a rat (or a mouse in the cheescake display case at Juniors) and wanted to get to the bottom of shit and decided to find out why the NYT has such a hard on for Pslope: "Now we know why, and it's the saddest and most obvious of reasons. It turns out the NYT's Metro editor Joe Sexton was born in Park Slope, and has lived there his entire life!"
SON OF A!!!
Needless to say, while we don't disagree with the NYT Picker (and commend them for gettin to the bottom of things), we also don't really give a shit cause...uhm...we're Park Slope obsessed too.
Isn't everyone?
