1st Street water-main woes
The water-main replacement work continues on First Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue... and, for whatever reason, the owner of this pick-up truck tried some maneuver on the block and well... you can see the result in the above photo via EVG reader Daniel Carlson...

It takes a Village
Crews have been out the past two days/nights on Third Avenue and 11th Street and 12th Street (and elsewhere) filming a new NBC series called "The Village" ... which is set in — Brooklyn.
The above photo is from 12th Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue tonight.
Per the NBC synopsis:
Welcome to The Village, an apartment building in Brooklyn that appears like any other from the outside — but is quite unique inside. The people who reside here have built a bonded family of friends and neighbors. Sarah's a nurse and single mom raising a creative teen; Gabe's a young law student, who just got a much older and unexpected roommate; Ava must secure the future of her young, U.S.-born son when ICE comes knocking; Nick's a veteran, who's just returned from war; and the heart and soul of the building, Ron and Patricia, have captivating tales all their own. These are the hopeful, heartwarming and challenging stories of life that prove family is everything, even if it's the one you make with the people around you.
Maybe these are just scenes where, say, Ron and Patricia are at a party on 12th Street and something captivating happens.
