yikes!!! thats my street! luckily i'm lame an in bed by 10pm every night but that is pretty scary! should that be b/w B and C by the way
Times have unbelievablychanged. That was standard operating procedure when I lived on D..Now it's newsworthy (and you actually have a resident surprised and scared....go figure)
I think we should all call on CB3 to close more bars and restaurants and replace them with second hand china stores. Quiet, dark streets are good for the neighborhood.

I am relieved this isn't business as usual like it used to be around here. I don't want a return to the good old days of violence. If you've ever been mugged and just roughed up by some thugs looking for amusement, you probably agree with me.
back in the early 80's there was Voodie and his crew One of them would steal the kicks off the guys from jersey and you would hear his laugh up and down the block
Now this is the East Village I remember!
We cannot judge. [rolling eyes]
