Man with last name of Gomillion tried to rob East Village bank
The NYPD Daily Blotter in the Post today notes a botched robbery attempt at the Chase branch on Second Avenue and St. Mark's Place. A man named Jerry Gomillion, 63, passed a "demand note" to a teller on May 23.
To the Post.
But when the teller, instead of cooperating, showed the note to a co-worker, Gomillion abruptly turned around and fled, perhaps forgetting about the bank’s video cameras.
He was later arrested.

Continuing to chip away at Mary Help of Christians
The sidewalk shed arrived outside the the Mary Help of Christians Catholic Church and rectory on East 12th Street yesterday... today, we spotted a few workers atop the church ... this one had some kind of hammer and was banging away on foundation holding up the cross in the center...
Developer Douglas Steiner bought the property last fall for an unspecified residential complex.

DNAinfo has an update on the horrific crash that injured four people early Wednesday morning on Second Avenue and East Fourth Street:
The drunk and drugged-up driver who slammed into several pedestrians and a Citi biker this week had PCP in his sock and was so out of it repeatedly asked cops "Am I dead," prosecutors said.
Shaun Martin, a 32-year-old Bayside, Queens resident, is being held on $100,000 bail. He is due back in court Monday, per DNAinfo.

Promising you the Super Moon
.jpg)
Bobby Williams took these photos (of the moon) around 2:35 a.m. ... almost time for the Super Moon tomorrow morning! The biggest and brightest full moon of the year!
Let's just lazily cut-n-paste this from The Washington Post:
The upcoming perigee occurs within minutes of the official full moon (but after the moon will have set for the day and not visible in that particular time window). Make some toast and pour your coffee, since on Sunday, June 23 perigee is at 7:11 a.m. eastern, when the Earth and moon will be about 356,991 kilometers, or 221,894 miles apart, according to the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. A mere 22 minutes later – at 7:33 a.m. – the moon becomes full, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory.
The moon will appear 14 percent larger than normal, or more depending on how much you drink.
Meanwhile, we'll need to check in with Felton Davis.
