Street sign shenanigans in the East Village

Some urban pranksters are on the loose... these street signs were spotted yesterday on 10th Street...



...and the fellow from Life was busy taking down the "Welcome to Hell" sign...



...we spotted this one on Sunday on Avenue A near 12th Street...Not sure if it's part of the same group or if it was being sold by one of the street vendors assembled that day... Given the number of golf bags that we see during the duffster season, this one should be made permanent...

    I think the Welcome to Hell sign would be appropriate upon entering several bar-strewn areas....

    Why the fuck is the guy from Life taking down the sign? Not even his job. So annoying.

    Boring...

    I really like some of the work people do on the cross-walk signals though.

    The guy from LIFE is just being a good little nazi.

    The current LIFE Café is NOT the LIFE Café we enjoyed in the early 80s. In an effort to attract a more monied demographic, by the late 80s, LIFE had fired the staffers and chefs that gave LIFE its unique bohemian underground edge and refused service to the counter-cultural crowd that made LIFE popular in the first place.

    This guy is just carrying on the current LIFE Café's agenda.
