Here’s a recap of the past week:

• We’re sorry to see It’s a Dog’s World close, which has left its store cats looking for a home.

• A creperie is coming to Foster Avenue.

• Watch out for old cars and Buscemi: Boardwalk Empire is filming here again.

• A daytime shooting on Church Ave left a man injured, and a gunman on the loose.

• One way to handle a never-ending car alarm: notes.

• How the 70th Precinct is like East Timor.

• A little history about eating habits in New York City in the 1600s.

• The new restaurant on Cortelyou looks like it will have a little bit of everything.

• Reasons to call 311: Signs nailed to trees, shopping cart used as trash can.

• Is winter over? The robins and the flowers are pointing the way.

• Get some tips about sewer maintenance before the basement has backed up.

• Good gift ideas (for anytime) from places without storefronts.

• Congrats to the undefeated Erasmus Hall Dutchmen, recently honored at City Hall.

Penny for your thoughts on pennies?

• Never wonder about where to buy flowers in Ditmas Park again.

• Cool video footage of the Loew’s Kings Theatre.

• We’re looking forward to the new traffic light on Ditmas and Westminster.

• Finally, if you can, please consider donating to a family who lost a son, and their home, in a fire last weekend.
