On Monday, someone left a large industrial refrigerator near the southbound M9 stop on Avenue C between Second Street and Third Street.
It was not an item to be easily discarded. The appliance, left outside the former storefront of "Store on Ave C" — a now-shuttered smoke shop and florist — was reportedly dumped after the business closed.
This morning, a city Sanitation crew temporarily halted traffic on this stretch of Avenue C to remove the item.
"We gotta do this quick," a Sanitation worker said.
After some careful maneuvering, the crew managed to lift and load the fridge onto a truck. Bus riders and passersby applauded as the street was cleared.
As for the storefront, it's now empty...
