Hardly a killjoy. Not to sound like a cranky pants, but the hoop was illegal. FDNY probably took it down. Fire escapes are there as a method of egress from a fire. I'd be pretty ticked off if I was trying to escape my building's fire and got tripped up and hurt because of some basketball net of all things. There are plenty of parks or gyms to play ball at where you aren't unwittingly contributing to the risk of someone DYING.
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.

Nearly everyone that comments on this blog from what I've seen.
