Mulch madness: City destroys the great Tree Chair of East 6th Street

[Last week]

We had been wondering about the great Tree Chair of East Sixth Street ... we took the above photo last week... showing that things weren't yet in bloom here between Avenue A and Avenue B ...

Unfortunately, we will never see it in full bloom again. EVG reader Riian Kant-McCormick shares this sad site this morning ...



City workers ripped out and mulched up this beloved stump ... word from an onlooker — rats were living under the stump or something ... and it had to go ...

A moment of silence

Long live the great Tree Chair of East Sixth Street!

Got a look at the Tree Chair of East Sixth Street the other day… hmm, well, looks as if it needs some repairs here between Avenue A and Avenue B ahead of the spring season…

After briefly going missing, the tree chair of East Sixth Street recently returned... and now there are several new features, as this photo via EVG reader Daniel Root shows...



The chair's caretaker was also captured in this photo... we understand that he seems pleased that so many people like his creation...

Some readers pointed out that the tree chair of East Sixth Street (just east of Avenue A) returned yesterday after a week-long absence... well, the stump never left, just the chair-back thingy. (We know chairs!) Anyway, the longtime resident who created this reinforced the chair, as these helpful circles show...

I'd been meaning to write a post about the great tree chair of East Sixth Street ... located a little east of Avenue A.

However, I noticed during the weekend that the chair part is gone...



Anyone know what happened? Maybe in for repairs?

A neighbor here told me that a longtime resident created this... and that he was a little bashful about attention for this...
