Mary Help of Christians: 'This is heartbreaking'

[Bobby Williams]

The Post has a piece today on several NYC churches that are facing possible demolition... including Mary Help of Christians Catholic Church on East 12th Street, which developer Douglas Steiner is razing to build a residential-retail complex ... the story doesn't offer any new information... but people are remaining hopeful.

“This is heartbreaking,” said Andrew Berman, executive director of the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation. “We hope [Steiner] can see the light and realize it’s advantageous to use something that’s special rather than demolishing it for something that’s a dime a dozen.”

Meanwhile, the Post employed three reporters to investigate local bars that aren't selling full pints of beer.

[April 13]

Back in the early afternoon hours on April 13, a man was shot in the stomach on East Third Street and Avenue C. One witness described the incident as "a drug deal gone bad."

The Post today reports of an arrest in the shooting.

According to the report, NYPD detectives, working with police in New Bedford, Mass., arrested 44-year-old José Cintron there ... he was extradited to New York this past week. Police reportedly found 120 grams of heroin on Cintron.

"He was charged there with drug possession and being a fugitive from justice, and in New York with attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon."

The victim of the gunshot underwent surgery on his small intestine at Bellevue Hospital, according to the Post.

Today's entertainment

Waiting for a friend. Third Avenue and St. Mark's Place. Worker from corner magazine shop sweeps the sidewalk, pushing some of the dust, cigarette butts and what not into Third Avenue.

Meanwhile, a street sweeper comes roaring up, horn honking. People standing on the corner quickly move back as the sweeper pulls up.

The driver gets out and stands on the cab. "What are you doing? I just came by here and swept," she yells down to the man with the broom.

He apologizes.

"I called this in. I already swept here. You're not supposed to sweep into the street after we come by."

He apologizes again and attempts to try to sweep up what he left behind. "Don't do that. I've already called it in." She mentions a ticket, but says that she will make sure that he doesn't get one.



She stands there a few more awkward moments. Then gets back inside and drives off... only to make a theatrical entrance a minute later. Going back and forth over the spot and then hanging a sharp left and continuing on St. Mark's Place.
