Brooklyn = Pantsless [BUZZ]

FIPS ToDo's is dead. Don't shed any tears, it was pretty stupid and never really served much of a purpose except when Benjamin and I were fighting and I was like "YEAH, BUT I POSTED 4 TIMES TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER! WHAT ABOUT TODOS!?" and then he'd be all "Do this, Bitch"

Anyway.

We're getting rid of it.

So, instead we're doing a daily Brooklyn buzz roundup of all the shit that's going on in our fine borough. Some of it might be boring...but that's not our fault. If you want to be a well informed Brooklynite, you gotta be down with alll the haps. So deal.
