It appears the long saga of the tree house living room is over. And a new era begins.
First, a flashback. As you will recall, there were pleas to keep the space here tidy. It didn't work. Trash piled up.
Meanwhile, the tree house living room attracted a steady stream of media coverage... such as in New York magazine's "Neighborhood News" feature...
Now, after a frustrating few months of back-and-forth... the tree house team members have opted for...
...plastic flowers.
(And there are even lights for the garden!) Anyway, we hope that there won't be a need for a "this is your garden not a trash bin" sign.

For your consideration
Not such a Smart Car after all?

Memory of terrible movie continues to haunt the Bowery
Tonight, as Hollywood honors the alleged best movies of 2012... a moment to note that the billboard for "Playing for Keeps" is still up on the Bowery at East Fourth Street. The movie opened Dec. 7. By now, it's likely playing on TNT. Despite an outpouring of 311 calls from distracted residents and motorists who complain of Gerard Butler's hair and what appear to be smiles from a denture commercial, the ad remains...
There's a 4 percent approval rating from critics at Rotten Tomatoes, who describe it this way: "Witless, unfocused, and arguably misogynistic, Playing for Keeps is a dispiriting, lowest-common-denominator Hollywood rom-com."

Religious zealots target Zoltar again
As you can see, someone has slapped a sticker across Zoltar's name here outside Gem Spa... AGAIN. (See here.)
"Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on everyones [sic] soul."
Unfortunately in America today, fortune teller machines do not enjoy the same freedoms as everyone else, and find themselves at the mercy of religious extremists. Or, at the very least, the target of people brandishing "Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on everyones [sic] soul" stickers.
Noted
At the M14 stop on Avenue A near East 11th Street. More from the Silent Pro 7-Eleven Collective?

330 Bowery wrapped and ready
Seeing as I already did two posts about the construction of the scaffolding here on the Bowery at Bond... might as well finish the job. It took workers a week, but they have the historic cast-iron building here wrapped and ready for exterior repairs...
