The man who has his butt photographed all over New York City
[Photo by Jim Tews]
Jeremy Levenbach, who lived in the East Village for seven years before moving to Brooklyn, started having people take photos of his butt about two years ago.
"Just me naked from the back (no covering in the front) in a bunch of different places," he told us via email. "I'm pretty sure I'm going to get pulled off of Instagram soon. Also I have them on a Tumblr (Levenbutt). I think ... they are usually pretty well composed."
OK!
So, to ask an obvious question, why?
"It started out as a joke. I sent the original one to a bunch of friends. They liked it so I kept taking them and sending them and eventually posted them online. I think they're funny and hopefully nice to look at."

Rite Aid's enchanted forest
EVG Senior First Avenue Rite Aid Correspondent Goggla checks in with the latest on the mural update on the East Fifth Street side of, uh, Rite Aid... Enchanted?
Indeed, I'm suddenly and strangely compelled to clip a coupon to save 40 percent off my next purchase of Preference by L'Oreal.

Rite Aid is turning blue on First Avenue
More exciting news to report from the World of Rite Aid on First Avenue and East Fifth Street... first, they cleaned up the inside and ditched the carpet...
Now, workers are painting the exterior, as the headline likely tipped you off... Goggla shared this from yesterday afternoon...
Perhaps they will consider bringing back the armpit tanning banner for the front window...

Zoltar's cozy new arrangement
Well, what do we have here outside Gem Spa...? A New York Lottery "Play Center" is now stationed directly next to Zoltar... picking lottery numbers adjacent to the Great One who tells fortunes and accurately predicts the future? We're guessing Zoltar's daily income is about to go through the box.

How can I really be expected to post today when the first day of summer is here?
[Into the forest of St. Mark's Place yesterday]
Didn't prepare much for class today, being the first day of summer and all. (And something about a "solstice.") Was going to try an Open Thread Friday (so 2006!) kinda thing on summer Fridays. CAPTCHA is off. Talk about anything! See where it goes! But that's probably a really bad idea!
So what will this be the summer of? The Summer of Complaining About/Loving Citi Bikes? The Summer of High-Waited Denim Shorts?
I'm going for The Summer of the Tire Left In Front of Your Door. This will be a thing.
[The New York Times expands its automotive coverage]
See, this is what happens when you take away parking spots. People start spreading their car parts everywhere.
See you after Labor Day.

Reader report: Supercuts leaving St. Mark's Place
A tipster passes along word that the Supercuts here on St. Mark's Place is closing down at the end of this month. "No word on why or what would be replacing it," per the tipster. A stylist said folks in the area could go to the location at 66 University Place (between 10th Street and 11th Street) ... and that some of the St. Mark's stylists will relocate to that branch.

Sunny weather on hold
Gentle Wash Laundromat has a new owner, sign, on Avenue A (aka, today in laundromat news)
Gentle Wash Laundromat has new ownership now at 97 Avenue A near East Sixth Street ... the new owner retained the former staff ... workers put up the new sign on Saturday... EVG reader Creature noted that the inside was painted and all the Asian nicknacks were removed... (and expect wi-fi service soon.)
Can't personally speak much about the place. There are several one-star Yelp reviews ("Please don't go here unless you want to be treated like an insect and for your laundry to smell like poop") ... and one person referred to the owner as an (ugh) "evil dragon lady."
Regardless, says longtime patron Creature of the former owner: "All I know is she was always nice to me and will be missed. It feels like another institution leaving, but that may just be me."
While I liked the former sign...
... it's nice to see that another laundromat didn't close down for good around the neighborhood. (Like here ... here ... and some day here.)
