Now there are these stickers... like the ones spotted alongside on Avenue B (on CVS stickers too — nice touch!)
Have you seen this stickers? Wasn't sure how widespread they are...
Meanwhile, nearby neighbors have said that they are already opposed to the new 7-Eleven.

Wanted to note this painting that V.H. McKenzie created back in February in collaboration with Tompkins Square Bagels too...

can someone make shirts like this?
for being "anti 7-11 stickers" they really went nuts w the stickers, or did I read that wrong? Personally I hate actual 7 11s much more than the stickers...
I agree 100% with the sentiment; however, using CVS Pharmacy stickers for this makes it a strong contender for irony of the year.
Victoria and I worked on this and it should be considered .

It's art, Man.
I was thinking about this the other day. How do you think the lady who complained about the noise from Bar on A is going to feel when these bright neon lights shine through her window and the garbage piles up on her corner? Will be interesting to see if she reacts the same way.
She is cautiously optimistic that this will be better than the live music and people smoking and yapping all night. She's certainly not thrilled that its a 7-11, who is. I've personally never seen crowds gather outside a 7-11 the way they do around bar entrances. Also, they've already installed new insulation in the ceiling.
Contrary to the bar owners negative campaign against her, she is a lovely, reasonable, young woman and not a crazy person in any way. She lived for years in fine cohabitation with the bars until the owner of barona died and they stopped making an effort to keep the noise down.
I know that Oakland CA prevented a MacDonald's from coming into a neighborhood several years ago. The way they did it was to show up to every single district council meeting, made countless calls, wrote letters to the editor, and organized the local businesses to protest. It took work. They succeeded.
The Midtownization of the entire Village is exactly what developers have in mind. Note the proliferation of Banks on every block around Wash Sq. Every time we stop one of these franchises, we are really stopping ten of them.
