This morning, while walking along Avenue A near East Ninth Street, I noticed the Niagara sidewalk sign-board thing tossed in the bush in Tompkins Square Park.
At first glance, I thought someone had left especially large, stale bread (matzo?) for the pigeons
Anyway, I took a photo and was going to try to be funny or something and say they have extended their happy hour, etc. I started to walk away, but it didn't seem cool to just leave it there. So I hopped the fence [etc. etc.] and returned it to the bar on Avenue A and Seventh Street. I rang the doorbell and ran.

That heroic rescue from the NY Posts's imaginary DMZ deserves a cocktail or two on the house!

Ha! I only wrote about it to try to get to 200 posts for the month. 21 to go!
20! (Unless someone has beat me to the punch.)
I bet it was one of the guests of the new residents of 277 East 7th St, who had a twelve-hour drunken screaming/singing fest on their rooftop into the wee hours of the night yesterday. Welcome, rich woo-hoos! Money can buy a poorly constructed, overpriced condo, but it clearly can't buy manners or class. Rest assured, we've already been calling in the noise complaints.
Meanwhile the NY Post sent a topless female reporter into Times Square to see what it's really like being a half-naked woman begging for tips from horny tourists. She found out it's neither fun nor easy. So pick one: Who is doing the real reporting around here, the topless tabloid NY Post reporter, or the chalkboard sign-saving blogger EV Grieve?
For what it's worth, Giovanni, I was half naked when I returned the sign
@ EV Grieve Half naked? Out of respect for the parents of all the NYU students moving in this weekend, I won't ask you the obvious question: which half?
"Anyway, who hasn't stolen a chalkboard sign from a local bar and dumped it in the park?" -- Said the drunk Taylor Swift fan who stole a chalkboard sign from a bar and dumped it in the park.
Damn I miss all the good stuff.
It was probably the person who wrote "Not good enough for A (in a circle)" on the Joe Strummer mural.
