Leon Freilich, the poet laureate of Park Slope, was so inspired by his neighborhood’s recent appearance on a list of best areas in the country that he created this week’s poetic offering, “A Hope for the Slope”:
I think that I shall never see
A ’hood so good for you and me.
A ’hood that meets our expectation
And is the envy of the nation.
Slope politics are left of center,
Though no one razzes a dissenter.
But no new real-estate agency
Would certainly make for a welcome changency
