FIPS WTF: Gigantic Traffic Sign on Union Street?


After witnessing a full-blown fight over the last rosemary rotisserie chicken at Union Market on 6th Ave (apparently you can call ahead and reserve a bird), a Union Street resident who will only identify herself as "Dot," thought she'd really lived through it all. That was until she reached 7th ave and saw a huge traffic sign warning drivers: CAUTION SLOW DOWN. CONSTRUCTION AHEAD. EASTERN PARKWAY.

Brooklyn Gets Its Own Anthem? 

Nabewise and Stuff Hipsters Hate got together and decided to create a local band face-off, Brooklyn Anthem Bash, in order to provide our beloved Brooklyn with the anthem we allegedly never had.

Through May 9th, unsigned hipster bands all over Brooklyn will be allowed to send in their original music to compete for a day’s worth of free studio time at Let ‘em In Music Studios in Park Slope. This is a pretty sweet deal; recording shit ain’t cheap!

This past Sunday volunteers picked up after our lazy asses – collecting litter, scraping old flyers from lampposts and mulching tree pits. MULCHING, PEOPLE! You know what I did on Sunday? I sat perched on my couch gorging on an entire tray of lasagna through three seasons of Mr. Belvedere on DVD. So thank God someone in this nabe is keeping it so pristine and Pleasantville-y.

Well, sort of.

Prospect Park Roll of Film Mystery Solved

Park Slope gets a bad rap most of the time (thanks Colin Quinn). And yes, sometimes deservedly so and sometimes because the pot shots are soo easy to make that T Mobile thinks huge banners poking fun at our fair neighborhood will make sense to the rest of the city. Then every so often something truly bitchin happens to someone here. Sometimes it's even worth sharing sans most of the snark.

Picture it, the Great Blizzard of 2010!
