I love it, love the idea of it. And I saw it on Gothamist.

Facebook has been stealing the attention of MySpace for quite some time, and today The NY Times
takes a look at just how the 30-somethings are white-knuckling on to
the past through the social networking platform. Check out the group Thirty Something and Grew Up in Park Slope, it’s like a time machine back to the salad days for some, and 17bigcity4_190
for
spectators it’s a faux-nostalgic look back on a neighborhood they
didn’t know at the time.

Here’s the actual verbage from the Thirty Something and Grew Up in Park Slope FB page:

Did you grow up or go to school in Park Slope in the 70’s and 80’s?

Did
you live for a trip to Al’s Toyland, Danny’s candy store, or the
original Little Things? Did you eat from the salad bar at Snooky’s and
buy your first tape at Soundtrack?

If you attended PS 107, PS
321, IS 88, JHS 51, 282, Berkeley Carroll street school, or even a
random private school outside of Park Slope, you definitely belong here.

The
only other requirement for membership is that you help reach out to and
invite anyone you know who qualifies as a member in this group.

  1. You mentioned my favorite childhood shops. Oh my, especially the original Little Things. I still have a lipgloss I purchased back in 1978. Still smells like strawberries. I even close my eyes when I smell it and remember that store like it was yesterday. When I visit my Mom, who still lives in Park Slope, I take my kids down 7th Avenue. Still a great place to visit.
