Monday's parting shot

Several EVG readers spotted activity this morning inside the infamously mucky tree well on Avenue A just south of Sixth Street ... the one that's been a stagnant soup of water, soggy bread, and other pigeon snacks for years. 

Workers were seen turning over the dirt and removing small samples, though it wasn't immediately clear what kind of intervention was underway. 

We'll keep an eye on this tree pit to see what, if anything, may sprout from today's efforts. 

Attempts to revitalize the space — including a spring planting rescue mission in March 2024 — have, unfortunately, not taken root.
