Sad, strange story.

PURE SPECULATION: Maybe people are stealing pets for the reward money?

Have you noticed how many missing pets signs there are around the neighborhood? A friend suggested that, perhaps, people were stealing pets in return for a reward...Maybe? Easy money in these difficult economic times, etc. He had no proof to back this up...He was just talking, but it was a rather chilly thought.






Stealing pets is hardly a new concept. In any event, whatever the reason for the disapperance, I hope these owners find their pets soon (if they haven't already).

Noted

I'm sure this was done with the best of intentions, but it strikes me as...well, just odd. Sidewalk Cafe, Avenue A and Sixth Street.

24 hours...and 99 cents

In a recent post on two old signs that I like, commenter StuyTownFullofYunnies mentioned the flashing neon of the newish coffee shop on 14th Street between First Avenue and Avenue A. I knew that I had a picture of it somewhere. Like StuyTown, I love the flashing "open 24 hours" neon. Anyway, it's proof that a sign doesn't have to be 75 years old to be liked. Or something.



I also like the neon next door at the generally tacky 99-cent shop....

A sign that I like

On 14th Street between Avenue A and Avenue B. Check out the old telephone exchange -- OR 3-4786.

Door is no long "bizarrely heavy" -- now the springs are just tight

Dec. 15!


Dec. 27!


Dirt Candy on East Ninth Street between Avenue A and First Avenue.

Noted

Dunno how long this flier has been up...but I just noticed it yesterday at Seventh Street and Avenue A. The flier goes on to accuse an area business owner of hiring "child molesters." It's signed by a "concerned parent in the neighborhood."

New service preys on your fears, stupidity

Spotted at Seventh Street and Avenue A.

How bizarre!

Let's talk about rats

Which reminds me...

An EV Grieve FYI -- in case you were going to buy a shitload of FroYo today at 16 Handles

In which EV Grieve panics for a brief moment

Was startled the other day when I saw the ominous-from-a-distance sign hanging above Life at 1oth Street and Avenue.

Just an "apartment for rent" sign. Uh. Carry on. Nothing to see here...

Anyway, forgive me for being a little jumpy. Last time I made note of a building for sale, the business on the ground floor moved...in this case, Vasmay Lounge at 269 E. Houston St.

In case you were planning a big outing to the 16 Handles on Second Avenue today...

Keeping the spirit alive

Yesterday afternoon on Fifth Street near Avenue A. Two signs leftover from the "let them eat cake" protest from July 11.

Directed toward the Mamma Mia! crowd, obviously

At thew Loews Village 7, 11th Street and Third Avenue.

The owl and the pig

Near 12th Street and Second Avenue.

Flier of the day

At 9th Street and Avenue C.

To be honest, this sign makes me sad. Someone wanted to start a business and they went to the trouble of making all these fliers (there are many taped up along Avenue C). And then they went and spelled the name of the company incorrectly. Unless they do mean Cinderlla's and not Cinderella's. (And I'd argue that Cinderella's isn't the best name for a cleaning business...) But I'm probably thinking way too much about all this.

Things that I do not want to know about

Signs of the times

My shopping list today includes rum, vodka, Grand Theft Auto IV, underwear...and I'll start watching Gossip Girl

I'm really tired of suggestive advertising

Bicycle thieves suck

Along First Avenue.

Picky, picky

On that note...


So this community garden on 8th Street is open from midnight to 5 p.m.? Or noon to 5 p.m.? I always get confused.

As Wikipedia notes:
Some people assume that 12 a.m. and 12 p.m. signify noon and midnight, respectively. The confusion also comes from 12 a.m. seeming to be the next hour in the 10 a.m., 11 a.m. series, but 12.01 p.m. being just after noon. In addition, p.m. is often associated with night so 12 a.m. may seem to be midnight.
