Most of the bars on Fifth these days are newer ones, & there are just as many knots of people hanging around outside them. That's the way of bars in the Bloomberg era. Most of these bars are rather lacking in character, though, & a good deal less friendly than the older ones. I'm not sure why Fifth below 9th is characterized as "edgy" (whatever that means) or having little other than 99c stores. Simply not true. It's a relief to be down this end rather than with the chattering crowds further north. It's where I feel most at home around here. But I guess progress will drive older residents out, & change all that.onemorefoldedsunsethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995652957356064546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8741186653279066194.post-36022936910962148632012-02-03T07:47:41.260-05:002012-02-03T07:47:41.260-05:00You suck anonymous!You suck anonymous!Carl Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02454671419259071530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8741186653279066194.post-17219890131516849262012-01-31T14:56:31.692-05:002012-01-31T14:56:31.692-05:00While I can say that as a resident of Park Slope I...While I can say that as a resident of Park Slope I hate to see older, established places close I've never been a big fan of these older bars. Walking by with my groceries I am constantly seeing several people mulling around outside smoking and on occasional sneaking their beer bottles outside too. The 99cent stores can all close in my opinion. I am happy to see a lot of the changes taking place south of 9th street. It has held on to that edgy feeling for too long while rental and sale prices for properties continues to grow. Why pay significantly higher rent but be surrounded by bars and 99 cent stores?? Progress continues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8741186653279066194.post-89229130591140992692012-01-28T16:21:08.892-05:002012-01-28T16:21:08.892-05:00Thanks for reading, Jim.

We seem to be losing that sense of community in so many places - bars, shops, apartment buildings, on the street...places where people know your name (or at least your face) and are eager to chat and hang out. I really don't get it.Laura Goggin Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15517481509431547970noreply@blogger.com
