Why are there so many pregnant women? Park Slope has many schools, both private and public, playgrounds all over the place, a beautiful park, children's shops, pet stores, ice creams shops, after school programs, children's art services... It really is a great place to raise kids. And dogs.
Why are they healthy looking?
Perhaps happiness promotes health. It makes sense to me. But it sure doesn't hurt that so many of them take a walk in a gorgeous park most mornings. I immediately noticed that there is very little obesity in that neighborhood. Nearly everyone looks pleasant and fit.
My daughter has had so many colonoscopies that they are all in a day for her. I was far more nervous about it than she was, especially since the doctor was going to try to stretch a stricture while in there. This was successful and has ameliorated her constant state of nauseous. I myself will never do one again - once was quite enough, thank you. Sadistic I try not to do.
