These bulletins have been wrong at least once, when the city said the cube would be back on June 22. The Parks Department then announced that the Alamo was "being inspected by a conservator for final preparation," and that the return would be delayed until August. And then September.
The return, if does indeed happen tomorrow, will coincide with the first Astor Alive! Festival happening this weekend.
Workers packed up and carted off the Alamo for safekeeping for the duration of the Astor Place-Cooper Square reconstruction back on Nov. 25, 2014. The cube was installed here in 1967.

Another spectacular arrow
Question: Has Amanda Burden-Christ confirmed this?
Remember the rotatable cube sculpture!
Actually the installation has been canceled in favor of a rotating food vendor.... southwest food of course.
The cube made sense when it was in the middle of a small traffic island — I think once it's in the middle of a large pedestrian area its sterility will be plain for all to see.
BYO cupcakes.
Wonder how long B4 it is tagged.
