But How Will It Affect Property Values?

Apparently, Darren Starr (of Sex & the City fame) is thinking about creating a "dramady" set in my neighborhood.

Oh dear.

I find the notion hilarious.  In New York City, "Park Slope" is code for all kinds of things: overly earnest helicopter parents, maternal entitlement (it's always the mothers who take the rap for these things), uber organic crunchiness, yuppie gentrification run amok.  You name it; we're destroying the city with it.

But I don't care.  I love my neighborhood.  I do.  I've really never encountered any of the ridiculousness that it is theoretically known for--or, if I have, it's been easily negotiated.  Yes, my kids have been known to accompany my husband and I to a bar where The Boy eats french fries while we swill beer (no, not this bar).  Yes, I regularly suborn wanton acts of vandalism when I 
permit The Boy to draw with chalk on the sidewalk in front of our apartment.  Yes, I take my stroller--sometimes my double stroller!--into a coffee shop, and it's possible we've left a Goldfish an organic Cheddar bunny or two behind.

I know this little life isn't dramady worthy (Next week: BrooklynGirl attempts to run her dishwasher at night without waking her temporarily sleeping children and contemplates folding laundry!), but I'd love to see what mischief I'm supposed to be up to.

Ha! I can't imagine what "dramady" they'd get out of Park Slope. And I love PS too--wish we could afford to buy there!

Closest my neighborhood comes to TV glam is being featured when the detectives on Law & Order are busting down a suspect's door.
