    it's either an early b&t[er] showered in axe has fallen in that manhole, or, since east village is running out of space on the streets for yet another hookah joint, one opened down there

    When I left for work this morning at 8:30, I walked on that block and saw the smoke (it looked more like steam to me). I didn't notice any smell. FDNY were already there accessing what it was. For the sake of the people living on that block, I hope it's nothing serious.

    wonder if this has anything to do with the constant steam leak from con edison on 11th street 1-A.
    it's been going on for over a year.
    the steam has already killed one tree and is on the way to killing another one, perhaps two (in its plume).
    local councilmember and cb#3 have been notified numerous times.
    in june (2010) con edison set up a planning committee with no chair and no information).
    then there was that burst of steam on first avenue 10-11 posted on ev grieve late last year.
