EVG reader Mark Smith shares these photos of his basement apartment that got wiped out in the storm surge on Monday night ...
His employer put him up in temporary quarters. But he is looking forward to returning to the neighborhood as soon as he can ... he asked if anyone had leads on an apartment. Here's his email.

Signs of cell phone life on Avenue C
The front of Esperanto on Avenue C and East Ninth Street is a spot for cellular service... At last look, there were 25 people making calls, texting, etc. (And there are rumors that the cell phone reception area will be applying for a beer-wine license...)
... and a few steps away. Didn't see anyone around at this hour.
This happening at the Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space (MoRUS) on Avenue C? Does anyone know?
