A July 4 holiday weekend


[A July 4-related photo shoot for Dragon Fly Productions at Professor Thom's via Gregory Patrick]

It was a mostly fine weekend hereabouts, patriotic or otherwise.


[On the Bowery]

It was quiet.


[First Avenue]

Except for the fireworks, the official ones … and the illegal ones.

One of the hawks joined a rooftop fireworks viewing party on East Eighth Street.

We don't really have much to show for the weekend.

We took a photo of a mannequin in the trash. We saw the Moon. And Mars, just barely.

We read the Fourth Amendment that someone took the time to write on the plywood on the East 11th Street side where Mary Help of Christians used to be. (Someone also wrote the First Amendment out too.)



We did not sit here, however tempting, on East 13th Street.



We unnecessary used the "noir" setting to take photos of the sky from Avenue C way back on Thursday



We wondered if the quinoa made the move safely to Avenue B.



We set a spring trap for our neighbors.



We wondered about this photo of a Citi Bike in the trash on East Houston at Norfolk that a reader emailed us.



There was probably more. But we'll leave you with the Chillmaster taking you into the night …

    Does anyone have information about that disturbance on 4th st. b/w B and C Saturday night/Sunday morning around 1:30AM? I saw a huge group of people throwing bottles and shouting about something, looked serious.

    ShutUpHooker -- Some things just don't function when privately owned. Most things, actually, that people genuinely need: food, housing, health care, education, transportation, emergency services, to name a few.

    Not other than to say it was some pretty nasty shit, and it looks like it's just the beginning.
    Stay tuned.
