Being a block from the park may prove to be irresistible for the dirty dozen. Unlike St. Marks place (2nd and 3rd aves) Ave A at 11th is a quiet residential area and not the an area for "punk revivalists" and European tourists which means less pan handling potential. I hope those with children that frequent the Tompkins and the Sauer park playground have something to say about this.

There was discussion around the apparent fact that lots of syringes are found directly outside the 7-11 on St. Marks Place and people have been witnessed shooting up near there (which I personally find amazing because it is so open, seems counter-intuitive). Local residents and members of Archangel Security were both concerned about this and about disposal (don't want people picking them up and putting them into the corner trash baskets due to potentially hurting sanitation workers). I'm afraid I didn't bring up the possibility that a 7-11 on Avenue A -- being closer to the park and all -- might also have this problem when it opens, but it's food for thought.
