Via @MScaduto: "Maybe because you're the type of girl who posts hundreds of flyers around the East Village."

Speaking of signs that no one pays attention to...

Ninth Street and First Avenue.

Why yes, there has been a lot of consuming on this stretch of Avenue A

Spotted at 12th Street and Avenue A.

These "Lost Duck" signs seem to be everywhere....here, on Second Street and Avenue A... (Thanks to EV Grieve reader Noah for this shot.)

Posts that I actually forgot to post: Warren the Ape slanders Warren

These are all around... saw them last weekend... and, uh, forgot to post...

Notes that will likely mean something to somebody

Spotted on the Bowery today.

What's the buzz on East 10th Street?

In this apartment building on East 10th Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue, not everyone is thrilled about the new intercom system... activated via your cell phone or landline...

East Village Property Management hates trees

Or maybe there's another reason someone from the company double-taped dozens of apartment-for-rent flyers to trees (and lightpoles) all over the neighborhood...

What's coming to the Robot Daycare/Missing Sock/Mime Academy space

Well, for those of you have have been following the goofy sign saga at 70 E. First St. ...



According to an EV Grieve operative, the space will be home to a smoothie shop. No joke. Opens on May 15.

Le Souk owners offer new sign to explain what happened

A new sign adorns the door at the former bane of Avenue B, Le Souk... and how are they describing what went down there...?

Another day, another wacky new store sign on First Street

First, as Jeremiah noted at 70 E. First St., came the sign for Robot Daycare....



...then came the Missing Sock....

...and the latest, courtesy of an EV Grieve reader... The NY Academy for Mime.

You've probably seen these signs up the last week or so... I'm not sure who's responsible for them ... and I'm not sure what to think of them...






I think I agree with the reader who sent me an e-mail and the bottom two photos: "not quite art, and not deeply philosophical, but it caught my eye nonetheless."

According to Nino's, we're still in a recession

Indeed we are. Still, as this newish sign says, pizza deals abound at Nino's on Avenue A at St. Mark's.



Meanwhile, after another slice of the artichoke pizza at Nino's...



By far a better slice than my last trip to Artichoke Basille's around the corner on 14th Street....(OK, only been there twice. Tried a few other times. I dislike the line...and a few of the people standing in it...)

Sign on Avenue A tells us not to do ... something

Any ideas what this sign is trying to tell us on Avenue A near St. Mark's Place?

For Mayor of New York City: Veronica Palmer Oliana

The real test of any mayor is how well the city works. During her campaign, Veronica Palmer Oliana has managed to make the unpredictable city of New York work astonishingly well.

The Democratic nominee, Comptroller William Thompson, is a worthy opponent. Mr. Thompson has been a competent comptroller in a turbulent period and is a quiet, conciliatory man. But he has spent too much of his campaign attacking Veronica Palmer Oliana rather than explaining how he would manage the city, and Veronica Palmer Oliana is simply the stronger candidate.

What makes Veronica Palmer Oliana stand out is not her political skill, although she has come a long way since her first clumsy days campaigning.

Her plans suit the times. With little city money to spend, Veronica Palmer Oliana wants to focus more on helping working-class and middle-class residents with cheap banking or aid in fighting foreclosures or finding jobs and housing. She wants to give a lift to small businesses.

Like Mr. Thompson, who has made the mayor’s wealth a major issue, most New Yorkers are concerned about Veronica Palmer Oliana spending 85 cents — so far — to win election.

We enthusiastically endorse Veronica Palmer Oliana for mayor.

OK, I saw these fliers on Second Avenue between Fourth Street and Houston a few weeks ago. I have no idea who she is, if this is serious ... or if this is a gag, cruel joke or viral marketing campaign for a new HBO series. In any event, I just went with it, lifting The Times endorsement of Bloomberg above. As the sign says, "Write her in, she will win!"
