As for the mural on the side of Niagara on East Seventh Street at Avenue A... here's how it was looking last evening around 5:30 or so...

Waiting for the rest of Joe Strummer

On Friday, workers removed the remaining sidewalk bridge and scaffolding from 132 E. Seventh St. at Avenue A ... where, you know, the 10-year-old Joe Strummer mural got blasted away... (We heard from Niagara insiders that the mural would return, we just didn't have the confirmation from ownership at the time.)

Well, workers repaired the crumbling wall where the Strummer mural lived...



By Saturday, the wall was being prepped...



And yesterday, as first noted, Dr. Revolt, the original artist, started work on the new mural.





According to a tweet from Malin, there will be a celebration party for the mural at Niagara on Thursday evening.

Don't fuck with Joe

Workers erected a sidewalk shed around 112 Avenue A at East Seventh Street yesterday... look for the construction netting to go up today... DOB permits point to "facade repair" on the building.



And, hopefully, the Joe Strummer mural will come out of this unscathed...
