New Blog Alert: NIMBY Brooklyn

Nimby Brookllyn Screencap

It was only a matter of time before someone started a Brooklyn NIMBY blog and it has finally come to pass. The effort, called NIMBY Brooklyn, is a satirical (for now) look at some Carroll Gardens neighborhood blogs. (We say Carroll Gardens because the focus seems to be Carroll Gardens and some of the disputes there. Here’s some of the post about the Hoyt Street oyster bar that has been the subject of much acrimony:

While everyone has been worried about the noise that the new oyster bar on Hoyt and Union might generate for its neighbors, has nobody considered the moral repercussions? Oysters can change their sex several times throughout their lifetime – they’re the trannies of the sea! Do we want the loose morality and decadence of oysters trashing up our Carroll Gardens streets? Certainly all these newcomer hipsters with their floppy hair will be slurping a few of these slippery gender-benders, but what about our impressionable children?

We especially enjoyed the post about Red Lobster taking over the old Blockbuster space on Court Street.
