Mars Bar underpass now with security cameras

A few weeks back, we noted the rather desolate walkway set up to navigate the construction site on the southwest corner of East First Street and Second Avenue... where the 12-story apartment building is (quickly) rising ...

EVG reader AC walked through the other day... and noted that someone has now mounted several security cameras throughout the walkway...


So far, the cameras haven't deterred anyone from adding some writing on the walls...

    The cameras are not there for your safety - they are to make the police's job easier AFTER someone has been attacked or hurt. No affect at all on preventing crime, just focused on the "clean up" afterwards.

    I wonder what those cameras would fetch on St Marks place? I'm just wondering...

    They are actually attached to something? We have those in our apartment building, but they are just a lovely decoration.

    @ Big Gay Ice Cream man

    Good question... a lot of these things are fakes... but these look like the real deal...
