We have good news and bad news about B&H... last week we mentioned that workers removed the canopy...and now, a new one that looks very familiar replaced it...
However! EV Grieve reader Dan was walking by on Saturday when two workers were removing the B&H sign. He took the two photos below. Will B&H simply refurbish the old sign or put up something new?
And here's B&H as it awaits a new sign...

Happy campers? The Free Willie Nelson gets some competition on East Third Street
The Free Willie Nelson RV has become a familiar site on East Third Street near First Avenue...
Now, it appears to be getting some competition... I spotted this beaut the other day on the same block... (the Free Willie Nelson was parked east of First Avenue...)
Also, someone purporting to be the owner of the Free WIllie Nelson recently left me this note:
For the record: Mark me down for getting it and liking it.

Everything that you've ever wanted to know about the "Free Willie" Nelson RV on Third Street (and no -- he's not inside...)

Also, someone purporting to be the owner of the Free WIllie Nelson recently left me this note:
Thank you for your kind remarks about the Free Willie Nelson. Unlike every other vehicle parked in the streets of manhattan the Free Willie Nelson gives back to the community with a nice deck on the rear where people can sit and smoke, eat a snack, sit in the sun and watch the world go by, or chat. Often my friends come by and we sit inside and jam. It's worth noting the Free Willie Nelson is the same size as my apartment, there by doubling my living space. Unlike my apartment it costs about $800 per year to own and it transports up to sixteen people out to the Mermaid Parade, Floyd Bennett Field, Dead Horse Bay, Wood-stock or away from ground zero on that terrible day.
This summer we are talking about putting on a rooftop garden.
I know that not everyone is going to get it or like it but if you take a man in the street poll, except for the people who want the parking spot, most all really like it.
This is a ride for the nomadic spirit, the open road and a romantic time in our history when people weren't afraid to boldly just go.
For the record: Mark me down for getting it and liking it.

For second consectutive month, Superdive transer off the CB3/SLA docket
Superdive was originally on tonight's CB3/SLA docket for a full transfer of their liquor license.... no more, though, as a look at the updated rundown shows...
Just like last month!
Meanwhile! The smashing good times continue at Superdive!

Pretty soon they should just remove the glass and go with the open air look...

Bread and Butta is hiring
We've been following the saga of Bread and Butta on Avenue C near 11th Street for the past year or so... Prospects didn't look so good there for awhile...but, as EV Grieve reader Brad212 noted, the coffee shop is hiring...
Perhaps they want to hire the Gorilla Coffee staff?

Reminders: Losing the Fun this Tuesday
Author David Freeland hosts a stellar panel of historians, experts and urban planners to explore what happens to the city when a neighborhood’s cultural soul is stripped away to make way for luxury housing and bland architecture. Details here. (The event was originally scheduled in February... but the snowpocalypse took care of that...)

Graceland looking empty
Walked in Graceland on Avenue A and Second Street the other night... looking rather barren ... the shelves up top are empty...
Has anyone heard any updates on it closing?
Previously on EV Grieve:
Graceland is closing in the next 10 days
