As someone who currently lives in what this site insists on referring to as "South Brooklyn", for the love of Christ, Park Slope is not not NOT South Brooklyn. I mean, if it is, what hell does that make Coney Island? (I'm peaking on behalf of those of us who grew up in the REAL South Brooklyn -- you know, the 2/3 of the borough south of Prospect Park, and the three million of us who were born and lived here before the Great East River migration began) Yeah, it's great that these LES/UES refugees are here now -- and speaking for my blue-collar parents, most REAL Brooklyn natives could not be happier taht development and gentrification seem unstoppable at this point (yeah, Heath Ledger, I'm talking to YOU). But all these arguments that keep getting posted here -- over who has more street cred ane etc -- are, frankly, pretty bullshit coming from people who moved here and created competing wannabe-hipster/yuppie paradigms sometime after Britney Spears forced herself on the American public. And they crack me the fuck up. (end rant. have a happy day!)

Pray tell... who is blogging on gawker today who has yet to master the whole "insert photo next to the text" routine?
