Deadheads: Rebranding East 10th Street
Along this rather deserted stretch of East 10th Street between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue... realtors are using a summer-of-love-ish-approach to filling the recently renovated storefronts...

Breaking: Rooftop burglar spotted on East 10th Street
About 90 minutes ago, police blocked off part of East 10th Street between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue... several people on the scene said that a man was spotted jumping between the buildings with a knapsack ... police sources believe this might be the same man responsible for a string of robberies in the neighborhood of late...
EV Grieve reader David sent along the following shots...
He saw at least one dozen police officers, five SWAT members and one dog... word is a gun and some narcotics were recovered by police... the search was called off by police a little after midnight, he says....
This was also the cause of the helicopter that everybody seemed to hear tonight...

Instructive if you have problems unifying your 1,800 square foot, four bedroom home
There's a Home & Garden piece in the Times titled "An East Village Apartment, Sleek and Childproof."
The piece begins...
AFTER hiring and firing two architects in three years, David and Blanche Uyttendaele had a home with a split personality.
The back of their 1,800-square foot co-op in the East Village was traditional — like a prewar apartment on the Upper West Side — with a long, narrow hallway that led to the three bedrooms and master bathroom. The front felt more like a loft, with one open living and dining space.
They needed to unify the space somehow, but that wasn’t their only challenge.
The Uyttendaeles (pronounced YOU-ten-dales), both 40, have two rambunctious boys ... who treat the apartment like a playground, racing around barefoot after school and leapfrogging from the coffee table to the sofa like small superheroes. So the space needed to be childproof as well.
Actually, I stopped reading at this point. Let me know how it ends.

Shepard Fairey's Houston-Bowery mural is illegal, maybe
The DOB slapped a Stop Work Order on the Shepard Fairey mural on Houston and the Bowery... As AnimalNY noted, there are two options: obtain the proper permits for the "small building" or tear it down.
Here's a shot of the structure on the corner before Fairey's work went up...
Anyway, as an AnimalNY commenter commented..."its funny, that means no repairs to any damage like holes or torn off panels the guy who tossed bricks at it should go back, stop work order means no repairs under threat of criminal charges. you can only do emergency work if there is danger and with approval from the DOB."
So will the mural be vandalized again in the short term?

"East Fifth Bliss" on Seventh Street
Earlier today, the "East Fifth Bliss" crew did a little filming on Avenue B (and in the Park?)... Melanie got her picture taken with "Bliss" lead Michael C. Hall.
With a rental truck and maybe a van or so... what a difference between this and the "Smurfs" logjam from Thursday...where tractor-trailers lined Avenue A for blocks... (And we had "Smurfs" reports from all over the City, like this one from Midtown Lunch.) And we're still getting reader mail about the "Smurfs" shoot, like the amused residents who were told to wait for several minutes... and when they were "released," the PA said robotically, "Sorry for the inconvenience. We will only be here for two more hours."
It was 11 p.m.

Vandalized Shepard Fairey mural unvandalized on Houston
Yesterday, the entire blogosphere a few of us (BoweryBoogie and DNAinfo ... and me) pointed out the lastest hole in Shepard Fairey's Bowery-Houston mural...
And just like that, the Fairey Swat Team has made all the repairs...
Previously... Jeremiah discussed the ongoing vandalism issues with the mural at Houston and the Bowery... (You can read those here, here and here.)
