Report: The company that powers Citi Bike has filed for bankruptcy
Just a super quick post … picking this up from Gizmodo tonight:Bixi — the Montreal nonprofit company that developed the technology that powers New York City's eight-month-old CitiBike program — filed for bankruptcy protection today, after it emerged that cities including New York and Chicago were withholding payments to the company. Could the news affect CitiBike? Maybe — but not just yet.
Uh-oh!

The plywood came off today at the former New Corner Magazine (or King's Magazine) on St. Mark's Place at Third Avenue.
The landlord told us that the space will remain a newsstand, though there will be "an upgrade in the operator and the space."
The space will have a more appealing look for the
And the space will no longer have a little kiosk on Third Avenue… where DJ Lenny M held forth for so many years…

[Updated] Crime scene at 2 Bros. Pizza on St. Mark's Place
The NYPD (one cruiser and a van) is on the scene at 2 Bros. Pizza on St. Mark's Place this morning (the 2 Bros. closer to Third Avenue)… we haven't heard anything official about what happened… (one reader thought that there was a break-in, but that is just speculation)…
Updated: We heard that someone kicked in the bottom part of the door and walked off with the cash register… Again, this hasn't been confirmed… just the block gossip.

Here is a 30-minute episode from 1981…

Remembering elderly pedestrians killed by cars
[August 2013]
From the EVG inbox…
Today, Street Justice Activists with Right of Way will travel 30 miles by bicycle across 3 boroughs to stencil body outlines of dead pedestrians at 7 sites where New Yorkers over 70 years old have recently been killed by drivers. In 6 of these cases, the NYPD has not filed any charges. In a seventh, the driver was charged only with leaving the scene, not for the illegal left turn that led to the pedestrian’s death.
The event starts at 9 a.m. at East Houston and Clinton Street … at the site where East Village resident Meipui Chow Leon, 73, was killed on Aug. 23 by a Whole Foods van while crossing the street.
Find more details on today's event here.
Updated 12:20 p.m.
WCBS reports that four pedestrians have been killed this weekend by cars.
