"Brooklyn is Suburb Enough For Me" - Carroll gardens on "Film"

Noted for sometime, but now out with their first episode is a short show by Robin Reed called "Carroll Gardens". Here's how it is described on it's landing page:

"Within this little suburbanesque community politely at odds with itself exists a group of 30 somethings politely at odds with the fact that everyone is running away from one thing....becoming their parents!"

Although I take bitter offense to the characterization of this area as "suburban" (I guess that dense, walkable areas with great access to public transit and few mega-chains equals suburban to Ms. Reed), the short is cute, well done, and has many local places and characters (mostly in the opening segment). Check it out.
