Did you see the City Section’s piece by David Helene, a 17-year old Packer student, who lives in Cobble Hill? Wonder what they thought of it over at Berkeley Carroll? I guess it’s just one kid’s opinion but it seemed pretty ridiculous to me. Wonder why the Times’  kept it in. 

I don’t go to Park Slope much. I have friend who live there but I think the kids who go to Berkeley Carroll are kind of cocky. The partying is also way more intense there than over here. They drink a lot more than we do, and I’ve heard that the drug use may be a little more.

I loved Jake Mooney’s piece, Angst Amid the Artichokes, about the teenagers who work at C-Town on 9th Street.

Teenagers are everywhere at C-Town, which, in addition to being one of the neighborhood’s larger and better-stocked grocery stores, is a teen-centered ecosystem of raised voises, boredom and text messages.
