Another update on Natividad who works on 2nd Ave and Houston - his tools were just all thrown out by the Parks Dept.

Ok- here's the deal: That corner of 2nd Ave and Houston Street is about to be taken over by the Guggenheim Museum and their hired artists. They are building a "Pop-Up" Community Center and Outdoor Cafe in the Park. Construction has begun. From August through October they are going to 'show' us how to be a community. (First step- throw out real community people! They are sooo unsightly and get in the way). Nat is a really lovely guy and it would be nice if we -the actual community- could protect him in some way from this over-the-top Parks Dept/BMW/Guggenheim take-over. Particularly ironic in the fact that Nat repairs community bikes while BMW sponsors a 'community center'. Ideas anyone?
