Another simple question: What's the one thing you hate most about Park Slope?
That's it.
Again, answer in the comments (and feel free to go stealth anon if you want some prive).

Ok, so Benjamin gets mad props for being the first FIPS reporter on the scene on Saturday when Hanco's finally threw open its doors. *BUT* the dude just got bubble tea.
And so, yesterday I wanted to go over and dig a lil deeper into this whole Hanco's Vietnamese sandwich situation.

Recession my ass; we're in a fucking Depression.
Talk about an economic indicator that should make you shit your pants: The Cabinet Shop has actually taken down the infamous sign that FIPS first railed on back in December.
Ah Christ, I almost feel bad - I always thought I'd feel some kind of obnoxious sense of satisfaction when the shit inevitably hit the fan for these guys – but no such luck: I'm far too busy fretting over how bad business must be for everyone if these guys were actually desperate enough to take down their beloved fuck-you.
Oh well, the economy ain't gettin any better, and laughter is the best medicine - so, to that end, here are some other window signs that The Cabinet Shop will probably have to resort to in the struggling weeks and months again:

PARK SLOPE, Brooklyn (FIPSNN) - The trouble began in a local synagogue, of all places, where at a monthly general meeting, a Park Slope Co-op member proposed a ban on Israeli foods. The gesture was one of protest, aimed at expressing the organization's contempt for the country's recent military campaign in Gaza. Here in Brooklyn, however, many Jews objected; that's when divisive lines were formed, and Co-op members began to choose sides.
Now, in a move that is sure to ignite protest from Jewish advocacy groups citywide, the Co-op board has voted to recommend that Jewish Members adorn Stars of David while shopping at the Co-op. The Co-op board insists that the move is one of compassion, and senior members of the organization met with FIPSNN to elaborate.
