I thought it was a fluke, or someone feeling nostalgic about his beret, but I guess there's more to that story.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362859175287085919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-20350857612701517342010-10-14T14:06:56.038-04:002010-10-14T14:06:56.038-04:00Hmm...

With all of the homophobes running around lately, I'm wondering when The Pink Panthers are going to start patrolling again.

The acceleration into full blown yuppiedom in the last couple of years in Park Slope has been kind of amazing. But I don't know . . . <br /><br />Hey, there are a lot of reasons to leave New York. I often wonder what I'd think of the city if I moved here now for the first time, if I'd like it or think it was a historical but vastly overpriced, curiousity, like Paris, and move on. People move in and out of my street all the time - they come here looking for work, whatever, they can't make it, they leave. This is the reality of the money divide in New York, and all cities like it. <br /><br />Maybe it was the absence of this economic reality that grated, in both cases. <br /><br />T.City Of Strangershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12158677428956744517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-80627997856006000222010-10-13T15:59:55.305-04:002010-10-13T15:59:55.305-04:00Re: Newbie leaving - seems to me he was never here...Re: Newbie leaving - seems to me he was never here in the first place. Chased a girl, she escaped and now he's going back home. It really has nothing to do with the city - he could have written about any city.<br /><br />As for the Park Slope Guy, I get where he's coming from, but I also get how others see him as a pretentious jerk. His neighborhood has changed, so he's opted to leave. Ok, but did he do anything himself to preserve his neighborhood or educate those he felt were behaving badly?<br /><br />Both writers are putting blame on the city and/or the people around them as they run away. If you care so much, why not stay and fight for what you want?Laura Goggin Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15517481509431547970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-28361411959399382742010-10-13T15:38:36.502-04:002010-10-13T15:38:36.502-04:00Is it a trend now to write about oneself leaving N...Is it a trend now to write about oneself leaving NYC? Jeez, stop whining and pack up and go already. Nobody cares.<br /><br />From the first good-bye whinefest: "I miss you standing listlessly with the homosexuals in their tube tops outside dark-windowed clubs as they waited for rescue from their boredom."<br /><br />I'm pretty sure all these transplant whiners are closet homophobes and racists with all their "ironic" jokes.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13227695659650434117noreply@blogger.com
