Mars Bar condo conversion complete
As a follow-up from our post yesterday ... offering a glimpse of what this corner at Second Avenue and East First Street might look like one day with luxury housing on the way...
Oh, and EV Grieve regular Roger_Paw caught the artist in action. (You can find her post here.)
All this leads up to the bar's new art show starting Sunday (with BBQ!) ...
I remember what happened here last Easter. Read that here.

Looking at the Economakis front-door coop
We don't know what all this fencing is about at the under-renovation Economakis Dream Mansion on East Third Street ... Was thinking there might be poultry back there. (Uh, no.)
Anyway, we walked by because... an EV Grieve reader/neighbor is convinced they're putting in a garage... with this as the evidence...

About time
Here is news from The Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation:
Here is the building-by-building survey that the GVSHP conducted in the East Village. DNAinfo has more on the news here.
Next week the Landmarks Preservation Commission will be holding a property owner’s meeting to discuss two potential historic district designations in the East Village which they are beginning the process of considering. According to the LPC, the districts being studied right now run along Tompkins Square North and are bounded roughly by East 2nd and East 7th, between the Bowery and 1st Avenue. In May, the Commission will come before Community Board #3 to discuss their plans and thinking about landmark designations in the East Village.

Things that you do when you stop for red lights on your bike
As noted Wednesday, the NYPD pulled over EV Grieve contributor samo on East First Street near Avenue A and issued him a $270 ticket for running a red light on his bike. (You can read that post and the 50-some comments here.)
So yesterday was "day 1 of stopping at red lights for me," he said via email. So while waiting for the lights to change, he sat and counted the number of bikers running reds and how many pedestrians weren't obeying any directional signals whatsoever.
Totals yesterday afternoon after a ride from the Lower East Side to Chelsea:
Bikers Running Red: 7 out of 10
Pedestrians: Innumerable ("I lost count.")
Oh, and here's the back of his ticket...

April 21
Just the other day, EV Grieve reader Riian submitted a fine entry ... However, some of you vicious bastards people weren't impressed since the thing was in a pot.
So, Riian strikes again on Sixth Street between Avenue A and Avenue B...
This should certainly please the judges, though as a neutral observer, I cannot speak for the International Coalition of Tree Tossing in the Spring (ICTTS). Via text, ICTTS spokesperson Gruber MacDougal, currently in London preparing for the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, wrote, "Hi Grieve. TY 4t note. We'll ck out this Ntry. meanwyl, mrry xmas in April."
