quiddities and agonies of the ruling class - a rolling new york times thread

Yes but what about when you weren't on the set of Lost?

you guys are all such street poop rookies

i've not pooped in the street, but i've seen it done.

whereas the number of times i've pissed in the street is so numerous, i can only apologize to the decent folk who don't do so.

BTW I saw that topless lady that always gets "sighted" and put on blogs and stuff in union square today. ONLY IN NEW YORK CITY AMIRITE GUYS

Also last week as we were waiting in the lobby of a building in queens to see an apartment, a very old man who clearly had shitstains on his jeans walked in and got into the elevator. My wife and I later admitted to each other that this image made it impossible for both of us to feel good about the apartment, because it was like moving there would mean decay and death.

might also mean cheaper rent tho

actually it didn't matter cuz the owner only wanted to rent his apt furnished

Get out of my street, and into my pool.

And this week, the NYTimes takes notice that there are still tiny corners of Brooklyn that aren't filled with yuppies yet:

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/09/nyregion/as-brooklyn-gentrifies-some-neighborhoods-are-being-left-behind.html

You know, like only about 85% of the borough remains ungentrified.

we traveled east from williamsburg and it turns out brooklyn just keeps on going, more information as it becomes available

TBF, if you travel east from Williamsburg you hit Queens.

not on the subway map bro

smh turns out hurtings not a real new yorker

East of Williamsburg = Ridgewood

oh, you're doing that thing, again

sry hurting for real new yorkers manhattan is the n/s axis every real new yorker knows this

The article makes it sound like it's all either Park Slope or Brownsville too. There are like GIGANTIC middle class neighborhoods in Brooklyn that have been middle class for decades.

oh, you're doing that thing, again

All of Brooklyn is actually either called Red Hook or Ozone Park. The rest of it is just shit realtors made up.

i thought red hook was a food truck, can you live in the truck

tip: the new hot bk neighborhood is mill basin

i am opening a gallery/venue/bike repair shop

I'm just waiting for Sheepshead Bay to blow up.

flatlands has the best "middle of nowhere" sounding name

fuck a bike, strictly mopeds in the basin

what abt gravesend

spoooky

I went to Flatland to pick up something from craigslist the other week and no one responded to my jokes about coming back flat. ;_;

I think Times writers just really don't get that there might not actually be enough upper middle class white people who want to live in the city to fill the entire city with upper middle class white people.

Or that at some point some of them tend to say "fuck it I'm going to live in Bergen County" instead of going way the fuck out to Canarsie or w/e.

I've already lived in Bergen Cty. Give me Canarsie.

Fuck a Rte 17 and fuck a Ridgewood. Man I hate Ridgewood.

yeah well have you been to canarsie

Clearly, the Bronx's reputation still suffers from the fact that it is the only borough that's identified with a felony in the theme song of Car 54, Where Are You?.

step 1 in rebranding: change name back to "The Broncks' Farms"
