Avenue A Copy Center is now open (on Avenue A)



The Copy Center opened today at 47 Avenue A between East Third Street and East Fourth Street (in the retail space of the Ageloff Towers) … and from the look of the Grand Opening banner, it appears that the shop does a little bit of everything — business cards, brochures, menus, flyers and postcards…

As we understand it, the Copy Center is run by the folks who own the Essex Card Shop at 39 Avenue A.

The space was home to Galleria J. Antonio, who reopened in a smaller storefront two doors down in August.

Fledge frenzy; plus hawks immortalized in yarn


[Photo Monday by Bobby Williams]

All three of Christo and Dora's offspring have fledged this past week... leaving the nest on the Ageloff Towers on Avenue A and East Third Street and seeing what this neighborhood has to offer, like large church clocks...


[BW]

Check out Gog in NYC and TwoHawksNYC for some comprehensive coverage.

In the meantime on Avenue A below, local businesses are getting into the red-tailed hawk spirit... with Exit9 and Downtown Yarns showing their hawk pride...









Thanks to Goggla for the yarn photos!

Look at the 3-week-old hawklets high above Avenue A



Here are the three baby hawks nesting 12th floors above Avenue A on the Ageloff Towers between East Third Street and East Fourth Street…



The photos come courtesy of James and Karla Murray … Christo and Dora's offspring are roughly three weeks old now… (The Two Hawks NYC site has some good nest shots from yesterday.)

Meanwhile, here's a view from Avenue A via Bobby Williams …



… and a bonus shot of Christo taking a break nearby on the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer on East Third Street…

As always, check out Gog in NYC for more on the hawks (and falcons!).

And you can keep tabs on the hawks via the Avenue A Hawk Cam.

Hawk (and egg) watch continues on Avenue A, now with the help of a live webcam


[Ageloff photo from last week by Bobby Williams]

Been a few weeks since we've checked in on red-tailed hawk parents Christo and Dora, who have been busy building a nest (or two!) on the top floor of the Ageloff Towers on Avenue A between East Third Street and East Fourth Street.

As always, Goggla has been keeping tabs on the developments over at Gog in NYC.

In addition, someone has set up a live webcam on the Ageloff hawk nest. Access that here.


[Photo yesterday by Bobby Williams]

There's also a new Tumblr, Two NYC Hawks and other things I LOVE, featuring some upclose hawk pics and video. Like this one, showing a rough landing by Christo (Dora not amused)…



And last week, The Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation's blog Off the Grid had a post on the history of the Ageloff Towers as well as the Christodora House, site of last year's hawk nest.

Tomorrow night, the Society is hosting a program titled The Red-Tail Hawks of Greenwich Village and the East Village — a lecture and slideshow with Gabriel Willow, a naturalist, guide and educator with New York City Audubon

Wednesday, March 25
6:30 – 8 P.M.
Free; reservations required
Washington Square Institute, 51 E. 11th St., between Broadway and University Place

Go here for more details and how to RSVP

Finally, as a bonus, a meal photo for you from Tompkins Square Park the other day...

Christo and Dora are building 2 nests on the Ageloff Towers


[Christo shops at Key. Photo by Goggla]

With the Christodora House out of the picture, red-tailed hawk parents Christo and Dora have been searching for just the right space to build their nest this spring. (OK, late winter.)

After a few false leads, Goggla has discover where the nest is. Actually, make that nests. In recent days, Christo and Dora have been building two nests on AC units on the top floor of the Ageloff Towers on Avenue A between East Third Street and East Fourth Street…



And some nest-in-progress photos via Bobby Williams…





Interesting choice given they are a few blocks away from the plentiful sticks and rats of Tompkins Square Park … above a far more active part of the neighborhood… (compared to their spot on the Christodora on Avenue B and East Ninth Street last year)…

Anyway, head on over to Gog in NYC for lots of photos and the full story.

Noted



EVG reader MA spotted this Urban Etiquette Sign in the Ageloff Towers lobby... apparently some "subleasers" are displaying their "primative [sic] behavior" on the roof deck here on Avenue A between East Third Street and East Fourth Street.

Ageloff Towers update



Dramatic shot of the Ageloff Towers fire by Cluglife.

Per DNAinfo:

Fire officials on the scene said they arrived to see flames blowing out three windows of the corner apartment. Firefighters battled the blaze from inside the building — water was seen shooting out windows and onto the street. It took firefighters roughly an hour to get the fire under control, officials said.
FDNY officials said a couple lived in the apartment. No one was injured, but the apartment was completely destroyed, fire officials said.

Assessing the Ageloff Towers fire damage

And as we were first to report (thanks to jdx): "Fire on the 6th floor, east 4th side, caused by a burning towel left on the radiator. no fatalities."
