Careful, E, hell hath no fury like a "Gossip Girl" fan scorned.
A dog walker named Beth saw her with a homeless guy sleeping in a park. She recognized Eloise from the poster that I posted at the Tompkins Square Dog Run. She waited for him to wake up before she asked him if he had recently found her. He was very friendly and excited to help Eloise find her owner. She called Home Again (Eloise has a microchip) and gave them her number, which was on the poster. Since he didn't have a phone, he let her take Eloise, albeit sadly and reluctantly. In the meantime, Home Again called me and gave me her number. I was already at Rivington and Orchard after following the lead from the e-mail you forwarded me, and she was at Rivington and Norfolk. So I walked toward her, and she was waiting for me with Eloise in front of Café Luise. I also got to meet the guy who had initially taken her ... He was very worried about her and told me he fed her a ham, tomato, and bread sandwich. He ... couldn't have been more concerned about finding me. She has been sleeping since we got home a couple hours ago.
Eloise and I moved to the East Village only a month ago. After she was taken, I regretted tying her up, and I never will tie her up while I run errands again. However, it seems like all parties involved were more than willing to help me find her. I feel very lucky to live in a community with so many cooperative and altruistic people.
I wonder if you may have heard anything about a crime or shooting happening around 1st Ave and 6th St last night. My apartment backs up to the courtyard behind the Indian restaurants on the SW corner. Sometime after dark, during the Jets game, there was a very loud bang, followed by a lot of commotion, a shriek, and two men talking. It sounded like they were digging through the recycling cans. As the voices were calm and no other noise followed, I didn't think it was anything serious. About 30 minutes later, however, the police arrived and were talking to a woman who described seeing two naked men in the back changing their clothes. She said one of them jumped over a wall (there is no escape from the courtyard except back through one of the buildings). Today, I heard cops referring to "the victim" and also said there was blood on a door and shell casings on the ground. I've not been able to find out anything else about this.
I just talked to the cops and they confirmed someone was shot in a bad drug deal, but he's alive. They apparently caught one of the shooters already.
Policy Meeting of the SLA & DCA Licensing Committee
Tonight at 6:30 — University Settlement at Houston Street Center, 273 Bowery (at Houston)
We will review and evaluate changes to Community Board 3's existing policies and procedures guiding the Board's approvals/denials of all types of liquor licenses for establishments within the CB 3 district. All previous "resolution areas" will be reviewed.
We want to hear from YOU!
Please fill out a “Request to Speak” form by 7 p.m. Speakers will be limited to 3 minutes.
Testimony can be also be submitted to info@cb3manhattan.org or submitted at meeting
• What are your plans/visions for the area?
• What are your concerns, problems?
• What do you want to retain in our neighborhood?
• Read current policies & facts.
It would be helpful if you could address the following questions in your testimony.
• License applications are subject to 500-foot rule (no new full licenses if 3 or more within 500 feet). New licenses should not be issued unless they provide a public benefit. Also, CB 3 does not issue new licenses in certain areas unless there is
overwhelming public support and public benefit. What would you consider a public benefit to your immediate neighborhood?
• If you are an applicant — what do you think a licensed establishment could provide that would be a public benefit? How would you approach the community to decide this?
• If you had a choice of one kind of new license on your block — would you prefer
a) upscale restaurant? B) affordable restaurant? c) combination restaurant/bar?
(or bar with menu) c) eating/drinking with entertainment? D) bar? e) Other?
• Do you think the impact of a pizza place with beer is any different than pizza place without beer? Does closing hours make a difference?
• What kind of licensed establishment causes most impact in your immediate area in terms of crowds on street, underage drinking? rowdiness?
• Do you know if people come to your immediate area for nightlife from a) local residents b) public transportation or walking c) cab d) private cars.
• For residents — what kinds of licensed establishments in the neighborhood do you visit? How far do you have to travel? What would you like to see more of or less of in your immediate area? Do you travel out of your area to visit eating/drinking
establishments? If so, what neighborhood?
I am certain I saw your dog today!
A man was walking her down 1st or 2nd avenue around 11th street. My dog wanted to say hi to her and he told me he found her tied up outside a store. He thought she'd been abandoned. She was scared, but physically ok.
He was clearly not in his right mind (it was noon and he said he'd just woken up and was up stealing dogs at 5 am). He said he'd called the number on the tag - 311, but no one picked up. He was trying to let the dog find her way home. He was a tall white man with dark hair and a large tattoo of a bird on the inside of one of his forearms. I would say he was in his 40s or 50s (but I'm not good at telling peoples ages).
He said if he couldn't find the owner, he wanted to keep her. I tried to convince him to call 311 again because they'd have record of her owner and he said he would. I want to stress that this man was clearly not in his right mind but I do not think he would hurt the dog, he really seemed to like her and wanted to come up with a name for her if he couldn't find the
owner.
"Joey Ramone Place" is perhaps the most stolen of the 250,900 street signs in New York, according to the Department of Transportation, which recently asked contractors to install the sign for the fourth time since 2003.
He would have appreciated the distinction, said the group's longtime drummer, Marky Ramone, sole survivor of the Ramones' longest-running lineup.
"But maybe they should find a better way to attach it," he said. "Now you have to be an NBA player to see it."
Although most street signs are about 12 to 14 feet off the ground, Joey Ramone Place was raised to 20 feet, an oddity first noted on the blog EV Grieve.
1) our new literacy program ( invented by babydive with his "dive says read" slogan) needs money to support it.
with that in mind superdive is available for benefits designed for parents associations in the east village that support or benefit local schools. superdive will contribute the space as well as 2 kegs to any school or association so that they can have a party designed to benefit local pals of babydive. quite simply "A KEG PARTY TO BENEFIT KIDS" . the school or association can organize a pay to enter party with the proceeds donated to the school. soft drinks as well as kidfriendly health drinks served for the little ones. pass it on.
2) despite the best efforts of all concerned, no single legitimate operator stepped forward to buy and or lease the superdive space. this even with the magnanimous landlord, one michael taub, pulling out all the stops to accommodate any interested parties. everyone was scared away by the big bad wolf aka the sla committee of comm bd 3. this in spite of the fact that this space has always been a bar, i.e. korova milk bar which was open for 10 years. oh well, it is a tale for a late night yarn of monsters and the triumph of good over evil to enrapture babydive during a stormy, dark, sleepless night.
3) who doesn't love a nice cold glass of beer? even babydive from the attached picture likes to be around a good party...... A SHOUTOUT TO THE SOUTHAMPTON PUBLICK HOUSE'S IPA !!!!!!
LONG LIVE SUPERDIVE !
DIVE SAYS READ !
Beautiful Persian girl waiting for L (my friend got sick) - m4w - 29 (East Village)

We started talking and kind of hit it off. Then we got on the subway car and my friend got sick. Obviously it was just strait up awkward / inappropriate to ask for you number. I remember your name, job etc... so we'll leave that as confirmation if you actually end up reading this and replying.
