FIPS JUICY: BEST STORIES OF THE WEEK

In case you've spent the week trying to figure out what's behind the mysteriously exciting Ferris Bueller teaser (spoiler: it's a Honda commercial for the Superbowl. Lame.), here's a quick wrap-up of juicy FiPS news that graced the pages of our blog this week:

* Franny's Is Making a Move: They're moving into the old Blockbuster AND holding on to the old joint, which may be turned into a fine dining restaurant. 

* How We Might Lower the number of park slope smartphone thefts: There might actually be a way...

* Watch out for those artful nip slips at tea lounge: The Wall Street Journal even covered this one -- a question about censorship of nude art in a place known for its breastfeeding mothers.

* Manhattan wine bar moving to great lakes: The rumors were true! Terroir, the self-described "elitist wine bar for everyone," is making its way into the Slope. 

* Review'd: Fort Reno Provisions: FiPS snack guru Shawn gives us a sneak peek at our new neighborhood BBQ joint.

* The artists and factories (and this contributor) VS. whole foods: Whole Foods is still trying to make its way into Gowanus, and some of the neighborhood's artists are fighting to keep it out.
