A GENTRIFIED STREET IN WILLIAMSBURG

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/brooklyn/cops_haul_in_burg_lane_painters_3ozCy3Q2TI2wUska9wvBnM

this whole bike lane shit is ridiculous imo.

Many of the hipster cyclists wear too little clothing

cutty^

is that really why they removed it? they go too fast and wear too little clothing? because can't they just keep riding through without the lane
also lol @ We are New York City bicyclists and our message is clear

they're going to wear the same amount of clothing on bikes or not. wizzing by you'll see them for less time.

this is actually pretty funny, though incredibly sarcastic. yes, it calls my house 'krapp' and it's true, my bldg is nothing special or historical but whatever. once all those condos are done, we will be the poor ppl on the street! gentrification at work!

hahaha so funny because the ppl building the condos still hadn't finished *most* of them by the time i moved 2 years later, including the bldg next door which was just abandoned by the builder.

Hey brooklyn ppl. I will be in Williamsburg for a night next weekend and am trying to find a hotel near there or within a reasonable distance. Any suggestions or am I better off taking the train back into Manhattan and finding one there?

As far as I can tell, yr better off staying in another part of Brooklyn. I tried to find a hotel or b&b for my parents last weekend and they ended up staying at St Mark's Hotel right on Astor Place. There just wasn't anything remotely convenient or reasonably priced on the east side of Manhattan near the L train.

Maybe there's an East Village hostel or something that would work?

I don't know anyplace budget. This looks pretty good location wise:

It's almost 200 a night but that's the same as what the Holiday Inn Express in Park Slope costs per night

this is kinda interesting

XD

D:

ha ha cutty - You're never going to let me live that down.

Thanks guys. Might have a place to stay with friends but it's not confirmed yet so just trying to make a backup plan.

Le Jolie is booked. I think I might end up booking at that Park Slope Holiday Inn because I found a good deal online but will check out the other suggestions. Thanks again.

:D

Disgruntled Williamsburg Resident Arrested After Making 403 Phony 911 Calls About Hipsters

They really need to print the transcripts of those calls, possibly as a coffee-table book. Would option.

a book of tweets abt 911 calls abt hipsters

a book of tweets abt 9/11 calls abt hipsters

a book of tweets abt 91.1 calls abt hipsters

totally plausible best show episode actually

you can say what you want about williamsburg and hipsters, but imo the real problem for williamsburg in 2013 is going to the yuppies.

williamburg all grown up

first they came for the hipsters and i said nothing

too busy drinking my martini with artisinally pickled onions

last time I was in Williamsburg I def noticed a lot more thousand-dollar baby strollers roving the sidewalk than usual

i had lunch w someone there last week who was all is it just me or are there more yuppies around since i was here a few years ago

also hipsters just turn into yuppies as they age is something to consider

everyone turns into their parents

help, i've realized i'm a Yindie (or am i a yupster?)

someone's gotta live in all those kent avenue hi-rises

yup

they paved monster island and put up a parking lot
