On the Sofa: GL Reader Comments

November 18th, 2007 · No Comments

Once a week, we like to highlight a few comments left by Gowanus Lounge readers during the previous seven days. Here’s a sampling of this week’s reader comments:

Park Slope Pigeon Mania #2: Serial Killing Evidence Thrown Away. “It is people like “anonymous” who posted, “they should give the ‘vermin’ exterminator a medal” that remind me why we live on a planet where there is war, violence, killing and injustice…People who care for animals lift themselves up to a higher level, alas “anonymous” will have to wait his turn — maybe in his next life. Perhaps he will come back as a pigeon.” [Reply to “Anonymous”]

New Domino Marketing Campaign Underway. “Guess they know they can’t make money on the luxury market so will try and leech some tax money for “lower” income folks. I can just hear the tax dollars getting sucked away into the coffers of the developers.” [nesNYC]

Park Slope Pigeon Serial Killing Mystery & Controversy Continues. “Psycho Pigeon (with apologies to The Fools): I can’t seem to face up to the facts/ I’m tense and nervous and I can’t relax / This Colonel Sanders job is gettin’ me down / A crazy pigeon chasing me all over town / CHORUS: Psycho Pigeon, qu’est que c’est / Coo coo coo coo coo coo / coo coo coo coooo / Better run run run run run run run away…” [Anonymous]

Red Hook’s ‘Degentrification’: Was It Ever Gentrified? “This is really a silly article. Its entire premise is that other people wrote that Red Hook was becoming fill in the blank and when that didn’t happen, the same journalists are asking what happened to Red Hook? Shouldn’t they be asking, what happened to what we wrote?” [Red Hook]
