What's on the minds of the neighborhood's youth?
Let's take a look at the chalk art some schoolchildren recently left in Tompkins Square Park...based on this they seem to be well-read...with a firm grasp of important societal issues....
And they seem to be reading the tabloids as well...

Looking at the crack at St. Brigid's
The Villager recently has an article on the architectural plans to renovate St. Brigid's at Eighth Street and Avenue B....One of the major challenges: the large crack on the north side, which is partially detached from the church. Here's what it looks like:

Tweet and lowdown...the tweet smell of success...tweet dreams...the tweet hereafter....after dark, my tweet...
Heh. Sorry. A just love bad Tweet puns! So. For reasons that aren't entirely clear to me yet, I signed up for a Twitter account, so I can start writing insightful things like, "Meeting Jeremiah for brunch at Chocolate by the Bald Man." Well, not really. Anyway, if you want to get in on the hot 140-character action, here you go!
BoweryBoogie is there too. And maybe a few other people.
Wide load?

The "Eyes" have it: For five bucks

Uh, in other words, I bought a copy.

Two good bags: At J. Baczynsky's East Village Meat Market
I love everything about J. Baczynsky's East Village Meat Market at 139 Second Ave. near Ninth Street...seen here in this shot taken by EssG (via Flickr).
...including their shopping bags. I treat the bags like a piece of art. While I could recycle them whenever I go visit to the shop, I greedily get another one...
...which is one reason they may have run out of the bags the other day...they were left to use the common "I heart NY" variety...
I was told the bag shortage was only temporary. Still, these things can't be cheap to make.
