On Wednesday, workers finished putting in the Popsicle fence at the Cooper Square Hotel... a tempting canvas for street artists... and sure enough, in what will be the first of many, I imagine... someone tagged the fence last night... and thanks to EV Grieve reader Ryan for snapping this shot early this morning of the Cooper Square Hotel Anti-Graffiti Team going into action...
I took this shot a little later...
...and just up the way at the new Cooper Union academic building...
Anyway, why did the Coop Hotel clean the tag? I thought they wanted to "fit in with the edgy local art scene?"

You can say this about ConEd: They don't skimp on the barricades
Reminders today: The Loisaida Festival on Avenue C
And I'm a little late in telling you this... but in case you parked on Avenue C and didn't see the signs...

This morning in Tompkins Square Park
Thanks to Ted Roden for passing along this shot taken early this morning in Tompkins Square Park...apparently someone decided to overturn every trashcan in the Park...
He has two more photos here. No theories. Random drunks? Bored kids?

The oil zone
Around 6 this evening, protesters took to the BP gas station on Lafayette and Houston ... (which was conveniently closed in advance) to condemn BP's involvement in the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster (read more about the protest here via Gothamist) .... here are a few photos from the protest ... (BoweryBoogie was also there... you can read his report here.)
Crank it up
Nice to see the Chrome Cranks back in action.... tonight at Cake Shop and tomorrow at the Knitting Factory...
