Seeing this warning sign in Tompkins Square Park — "Lisa Cheats at Cornhole" — reminds us just how safe this neighborhood used to be, when things like this (and pickleball players taking more than 10 seconds to serve) didn't happen.😔

Today in sidewalk sarcasm

As seen on Avenue B between Second Street and Third Street... where not everyone appreciates @7soulsdeep's soulful-ish sidewalk messages such as, "New York isn't the same without you." 

Here, someone responded: "Well, thank you. I just robbed 5 people and was sorta feeling bad about it till now."

Tuesday's parting shot

As seen on Ninth Street between Avenue B and Avenue C... "It's painted carefully." 

Caution sign or a proud worker? 

Thanks to Robert Miner for the photo and text.

"The Floraissance Has Begun!" (background here) ... with additional messages with pleas to help keep this tree alive here outside the fire-damaged Middle Collegiate Church...

Little Man Parking on Ninth Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue will need to update its sign now that "Stomp" and Dallas BBQ are gone...

Long live Webster Hall!

Some happy campers on 10th Street now as NYPD relocates RV

The camper that had been parked on 10th Street east of First Avenue is no longer on the block. 

Updated 11:30 a.m. 

The NYPD explains what happened in a tweet...

RV illegally parked = tracking down the owner, explaining the violation, & having him relocate the RV to private property. Your Transportation Safety Officer is always out, making sure the East Village Streets are safe. @NYPDPBMS pic.twitter.com/vuO9N2dcTu

As noted here, some unhappy residents who lived nearby painted messages outside (and on) the camper late last week with directives such as "move" ... "leave" ... and "Camper time to go."

Those messages remain on the sidewalk.

A message for the camper on 10th Street

Photos by Steven 

You've likely noticed the camper that has been parked on 10th Street just east of First Avenue.

Apparently, people who live nearby have had about enough of the camper. Some messages have arrived outside (H/T simcitymayor!) ...

... and on the camper itself...

Noted

A sign posted to 120 First Ave. between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place to help clear up any confusion!

This is NOT 120 1/2 or 120A. This is 120 ONLY.

Thanks to Steven for the photo...

A note for the tomato thief on 3rd Street

A note as seen on Third Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue: 

To tomato thief 

You are breaking my heart. 

Please don't do that again. 

Took me months to grow. 

Please bring it back. 

Can exchange w/$ 

Thanks to Michal Pasternak for the photo!

Tuesday's parting shot

Signs for a missing Citi Bike arrived yesterday along Avenue A (saw some on First Avenue too).
