In recent weeks, I've been taking photos of the graffiti along Extra Place, the aspiring Left Bank/pedestrian mall of the East Village...
I'm glad that I did this... because most of the graffiti was all just scrubbed away...
...however, the doorway that serves as a small shelter... where, depending on the day, you can find used condoms and needles, is still in use as a toilet...

Have you seen the side of the Verizon building?? It's been hit hard down the entire 13th Street side. Maybe they've given up and are just gonna leave it alone.
