FIPS JUICY: BEST STORIES OF THE WEEK

In case you've spent all week watching Rick Perry's "excruciating brain fart" or freaking out over the whole Joe Paterno/Penn State mess, here's a quick wrap-up of juicy FiPS news that graced the pages of our blog this week:

* Brooklyn Nanny survey sheds light on your burning questions: We learned a lot about Park Slope parents while reading this. They're cool with a nanny helping his or herself to anything in the kitchen, but don't like to pay overtime.

* Subway groper arrested: Perv gropes chick. Chick kicks shit out of Perv. Chick snaps photo of perv. Perv arrested. Victory.

* Aunt Suzie's is Dunzo: After 25 years in the Slope, Aunt Suzie's will be saying ciao to the neighborhood. The Italian spot is closing it's doors at the end of this year.

* Grand Army Bike Lane Squashed, A-holes responsible: We shall continue to traverse the tricky and treacherous terrain that is the G.A.P. ("Fall into the G.A.P." Get it? OK, I'll stop). 

* Park Slope WTF: Did gunshots ring out on Monday night?: Tweets say "yes," but commenters say "nein" -- that they were just fireworks.

* J Crew's Jenna Lyon's townhouse on the market: It's going for $3.75 million, and probably doesn't include the custom-constructed chandeliers or kick-ass contents of the dressing room (SHOES SHOES SHOES!).
