As probably everyone now knows, the new owners of the house that belonged to Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany on Prospect Park West are two Google gillionaires.

And would you believe: Alison, one of the writers at Fucked in Park Slope actually wrote a letter to Mrs. Google. Of course I’m pretty sure that this little correspondence is total fiction. But I thought it was fun fiction anyway. I thought it was fiction but in fact it’s 100% real. This morning I heard from Allison, who happens to be a friend. I didn’t realize it was THAT Allison. She wrote to OTBKB: “as dog is my witness, this correspondence was completely 100% word-for-word factual and actual. will nobody take my investigative reporting seriously, Louise.”

To which I reply: “Yes, Allison, I believe you.”

Here’s the first note. Go to FIPS to read more:

Hi Mrs. Google,

Sorry to bug you but rumor has it you are the mystery owner of 17 PPW and the residents of Park Slope (well, me anyway) are anxious to live vicariously through your adventures in home renovation on PPW.

Is there ANY way you might give us the scoop on what’s actually going on inside?

I just blogged about it the other day and thought I might actually try to officially investigate as well as satisfy my own architectural curiosity.

You’ll earn major brownie points with your neighbors. Thanks in advance!!

Allison
