On The Complete Glossary of Hipster Hallmarks

I love that you included the dates next to each entry. I made a game of just reading the terms and then guessing the date. I was always off by about 8-10 years. Which makes sense since this is based on the NYT.

On Just How Many Active Serial Sex Predators Are There in Park Slope?

I am in the area, and I haven't seen any cops out at night. At least they could have a "presence" on the street, right? Its not like they don't know how to blanket the area with cops: they're out in force every time the precious street sweeper is out to hand out parking tickets.

The whole area is getting really lawless. In the playgrounds of PS282 at night, it is basically an open-air drug den. Dozens of people smoking pot out in the open, often playing loud music. It is really strange, like a real life "Hamsterdam" from The Wire.
