[Last week]
We had been wondering about the great Tree Chair of East Sixth Street ... we took the above photo last week... showing that things weren't yet in bloom here between Avenue A and Avenue B ...
Unfortunately, we will never see it in full bloom again. EVG reader Riian Kant-McCormick shares this sad site this morning ...
City workers ripped out and mulched up this beloved stump ... word from an onlooker — rats were living under the stump or something ... and it had to go ...
A moment of silence
Long live the great Tree Chair of East Sixth Street!

Oh no! Our neighbor Tom has put so much work and love into this little site.
Which is probably why the city destroyed it. It was unique, and local, and small-scale, so of course it had to go.
Ugh. I loved watching people sit can dc take pictures in the chair when I worked across the street at identity bar. Wtf!!!! Rats live everywhere in nyc! RIP tree chair.
That sucks! I hope they will plant a new tree in its place
That's disgusting. I really hope there was actually a rat problem.
i hear there's plans for a TD Bank there
Actually faces, for this location it's going to be a mini-branch known as TP (Tree Pit) Bank.
I hope it's fro-yo! After all, there are only 4,273 fro-yo shops in the East Village. What convenience! What a city! God bless America!
I've always thought of "pressed-back" as a noun, not a verb.
There are rats in the Dog Run in Tompkins Square Park, and you see the workers doing fuck-all about that—and I don't mean they should put out poison, but they could plug up the rat holes there.
We're mourning the loss of a tree stump?
Maybe they're prepping for a new tree?
