My NYC Black Folk......Gentrification

[No Homo]

Now they are trying to ban Marino's ices and the ice cream man from the playgrounds in Prospect Park.

I dont know man but im seriously considering printing up some of these anti-yup/hipster tees and selling them to natives.

These people cant be serious...they are the worst

This part had me tho

I guarantee you, if some pasty, emaciated lumberjackish beardo walked through the playground with a cart that said “Colby’s Organic Seaweed Smoothies” on the side or “Holly’s Frozen Breastmilk Parfaits” these Park Slope parents would be doing cartwheels with cash in hand.

The icy rebuke of the time-honored tradition erupted on the Park Slope Parents online group when one mother described her son’s meltdown in Prospect Park after she put the ixnay on a acksnay.

“Along with the first truly beautiful day of the year, my son and I had our first ruined day at the playground,” the poster named Sarah somberly recounted. “Two different people came into the actual playground with ice cream/Italian ice push carts. I was able to avoid it for a little while but eventually I left with a crying 4-year-old.”

Another angry mother, identified on the site as Dorothy Scanlan, chimed in.

“I should not have to fight with my children every warm day on the playground just so someone can make a living!” the poster wailed. “I too was at the 9th Street Playground on Monday, and one of the vendors just handed my 4-year-old an ice cream cone. I was furious.”

Are these yuppies serious? You cant control your child or teach them to say no so youre basically growing them up to be entitled? These are really the tyype of people coming into brooklyn?

Yes... YO last night was the final straw for me. While walking my dog on my street in my neighborhood, a white woman, with her two dogs were at the corner while she was curbing them. I was coming towards their direction and my dog walked ahead a little and ran up on her dogs. She was struggling to pull her dogs away and had the nerve to say "do you really think its a good idea for you to do that"? Not all dogs are friendly.

I was like are you from here and just walked off. They getting super bold now breh.

Too far. Most people would need a car to get into the city from both places. LIRR and NJTransit trains can only hold so much people.

And too many damn stops before getting into Manhattan.

but moving South is close?

and fyi hundreds of thousands commute to the city from LI and NJ everyday

i remember taking a full train home from manhattan and standing near cacs cause i knew they were getting off soon . now they go deeper in brooklyn than me

This used to be a damn near foolproof way of getting a seat on certain lines

They're trying to get Marino's ices and ice cream banned in Prospect Park? Because their damn kids whine when they can't get it?

I saw a whole set of cacs going to Bay Pkwy on the D line yesterday. And they certainly weren't going anywhere near Coney Island with the way they're dressed.

The D line doesn't really run thru black neighborhoods in bk.

I can see Queens being Gentrified with the apartment rentals, but around St Albans, Queens Village, and Springfield, and Merrick and parts of SouthSide
HOUSES ARE OWNED BY BLACKS ... All of Queens falling under Gentrification can't happen ...Queens was always more to live then Brooklyn Pre-Gentrification... If you were black and was getting $$$ you got to live in Long Island or By Long Island or in Queens Buying a House or Condo or Co-Op.... Right Now ELMONT is a strong middle Income Black Neighborhood which is close by Queens... Black Businesses Run down linden Bully from Elmont to BK.... Queens Have a lot of black business that are strong. Golden Crust which is now started in Queens..

I haven't seen many hipsters in that part of BK. It's mostly russians and chinese and a small arab population along Bath. There certainly aren't any yuppie type stores around there, its all chinese supermarkets and restaurant .

I don't see those parts of queens being gentrified. It's just too far away from the subway. They're 2 fare zones. I think Queens will be safe because the shytty parts are really far away, and the nice parts are already occupied with generations of families. Beyond astoria, LIC, sunnyside, jackson heights, and parts of woodside, i dont really see it. I think the ethnic population and stronghold in these neighborhoods is too strong.

Yes but that's still pushing blacks out of the city.

Yes but that's still pushing blacks out of the city.

we lost already. anyway blacks nationwide are becoming more suburbanized while whites are moving back to cities. for example, Atlanta's city limits got more white in the last ten years while its suburbs got more black
