Reader report: Neo-Nazi slogan spotted on East Village sidewalks



A slogan popular with white supremacists has been spotted on sidewalks around the neighborhood.

EVG reader Marjorie Ingall has come across three of the stenciled slogans, which read: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." According to the Anti-Defamation League, these "14 Words" are a reference to the most popular white supremacist slogan in the world.

Ingall said that a community affairs officer from the 9th Precinct was investigating the stencil on Third Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue. (Ingall also contacted the Southern Poverty Law Center and City Council member Rosie Mendez's office.)

"My kids and I have been covering the graffiti with chalk," Ingall said.







In addition, someone painted a swastika on a wall on Third Street near the Bowery... that has since been covered up...

Here's Johnny! on St. Mark's Place



The Stanley Kubrick-themed bar door has arrived here... A pretty good discarded door scene here between Second Avenue and Third Avenue. (Beats a photo of a stupid discarded toilet any day!)

Now, back to the picture show...

Mixing politics and free standing lamps



The sign reads: "I work ... unlike Trump's immigration strategy." And it's written on the back of an immigration form.

Photogenic Ford F-Series pickup truck from 1961 is for sale



You've likely seen that vintage 1961 Ford F100 parked around the neighborhood ... or at least seen it in photos parked around the neighborhood. (It was on St. Mark's Place between Avenue A and First Avenue for some time.)

Apparently it's on the block, so to speak ... EVG regular Greg Masters spotted it on East 12th Street last night with a for sale sign in the window ...

EVG reader Robert Galinsky came across this scene on East 12th Street and Avenue B late Friday afternoon...

No idea at this point what sequence of events occurred to cause this to happen...



24 hours (or so) in the life of a discarded sofa section on 2nd Avenue



We begin yesterday afternoon on Second Avenue and East Seventh Street...

Before heading south a few blocks... presto — new sidewalk cafe!



Then it was back where it started...



And today, the sofa section went south a few blocks again, where its value was certainly raised with the addition of some street art...



... and continued to do what it knows how to do best — provide a comfortable place to sit...
