I know you’re all atwitter about your “family picnic,” but for the rest of us who live here and have been working all week, and were looking forward to having a quiet restful weekend, it’s just another loud, disturbing, child-shrieking, cacophonous invasion. It seems like every week there’s another one of these stupid things. Kid party, film shoot, beer-fest, art fair,design fair,wedding, wedding, wedding, wedding, block-long Hummers. It’s this exact yuppy-breeder frenzy that is the end of Dumbo.
