Secondly, the little sliver of a garden that was left on Avenue C is supposed to be for the public, it was apparently part of the deal, so why isn't it open? Thirdly I heard that they weren't doing well and that they were trying to dump Eastville Gardens. That was the start of turning Avenue C into the shit- show that it now is.<br />What can we do?
