You are no longer welcome!



Oh! Just noticed that the Welcome to the East Village/Modelo ad on East 12th Street at Avenue A has been blacked out…



The wall previously displayed an ad for the new season of the HBO television program "Girls."

Given that this appears to be an ad wall now … what ad would you like to see next? (Serious responses are OK.)

Previously on EV Grieve:
Welcome to the East Village — home of beer

    I lived on this block for almost 20 years now and that was THEE most ridiculous representation of the what the E. Village is supposed to be about.

    The blank wall best represents the EV today.

    Maybe it's just me, but I think this space is perfect for an Activia ad.--CC

    Agree, these people don't represent the EV of today. Next mural should include, David "Ross" and "I am a good neighbor" Schwimmer, Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz, John Legend, Christine Teigen, a bro in a pink popped-collar shirt, and his broho hanger-on in her mini-skirt and 6-inch heels.
