Tompkins Square Park lights covered

The lights in TSP usually look like...



And now, some of them are covered...for unknown reasons...? (Oh, right — as a reader points out, for the movies. Like tonight's showing of "Claire's Knee." For some reason, I hadn't noticed this before...Is it a good idea to leave the lights covered on nights that movies aren't playing?)





And at night...

    They must have been enemy combatants. I think I'm going to trust the government on this one.

    Right, anon. I forgot about the movies. The French films that have played Friday evenings. (Tonight: "Claire's Knee.")

    @Bryan. Ha!

    I noticed that the other night. I figured it was for the movies, but there was no movie that night; seems they should unwrap the lights -- especially considering the reports of worse-than-normal fights in the park earlier this summer.
