I have the distinct pleasure of walking past this every day. The school rid itself of TONS of desks, chairs and chalk boards etc. A few weeks back there were about 30 folks taking chairs and desks to their homes as a reminder of simpler times when your desk simply flipped up to reveal a pencil and some gum stuck to the lid.
Here, you'll find things that you may or may not be interested in about the East Village and other parts of New York City. Appreciating what's here while it's still here. Remembering what's no longer here. Wishing some things weren't here that are here.

Ha! Good point, Alphabet City Soup. And I thought about taking some of that stuff and starting my own school.
I've been passing this regularly. Just a few days ago, they finally got it down to one giant pile rather than taking over the whole sidewalk.
