Chico is what the neighborhood is all about. Take a look at all the friggin dogs in the East Village (and the dog run that I've been using since 2001). But as Mayor Bloomberg has made abundantly clear - cash is king in NYC.evihttp://eastvillageidiot.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-4566827361892048792009-12-23T21:34:01.578-05:002009-12-23T21:34:01.578-05:00ak, I agree the landlord has the right to make mon...ak, I agree the landlord has the right to make money, but he should have honored the original contract then cashed in.<br /><br />I have a question. Remember Dave's Electric Pumps and Motors? That shop was on the first floor of that building for years, but then it disappeared and was replaced by that Vampire Freaks store. I wonder if they were forced out or wanted to leave.<br /><br />It's really sad what's happening in the East Village.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-81554617210763082062009-12-23T15:44:42.326-05:002009-12-23T15:44:42.326-05:00I live on 11th Street and I was also sorry to see ...I live on 11th Street and I was also sorry to see the mural get painted over, though it didn't surprise me that someone was so quick to sell out the neighborhood to more advertising.

I recall hearing perhaps a year ago that the owner of the Hot & Crusty franchise on 14th and 1st only agreed to move in IF the landlord -- who also owns the David's space -- pushed out David's. As if anyone goes to Hot & Crusty for the damn bagels.DunceCaphttp://duncecapquarterly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-88484811441887361422009-12-23T13:07:36.905-05:002009-12-23T13:07:36.905-05:00I miss the animals too.I miss the animals too.Melaniehttp://melaniemusings2.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-18234150153673175312009-12-23T10:59:30.820-05:002009-12-23T10:59:30.820-05:00And that NBA ad is horrible... showcasing Kobe Bry...And that NBA ad is horrible... showcasing Kobe Bryant, the most selfish, cocky NBA player around...and why are there are like 20 players and a mascot on the court...?<br /><br />Go Knicks!EV Grievehttp://evgrieve.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-52839887158813410352009-12-23T10:47:21.500-05:002009-12-23T10:47:21.500-05:00Wow, I had no idea there was a back story.
