Meanwhile, looking up from Eighth Street, it almost looks as if the entire northern side of the church has been removed...
That was the side with the enormous crack in the foundation...(previously!)

A grizzly discovery on First Street
Who killed Teddy? In a dumpster on First Street near Second Avenue.
East Village on Russell Brand alert
The 'Arthur' remake (a travesty that I won't even go into) is filming around Second Avenue and 11th Street tomorrow... The remake stars Russell Brand in the Dudley Moore role... co-starring Jennifer Garner and Nick Nolte....and maybe the old Batmobile.

Closing sale at Village Fabrics
As I noted this past Tuesday, Village Fabrics on First Avenue and 11th Street is on the way out... closing sales are going on now...
A lot of comments for Village Fabrics here. The store will be missed.

The East Village continues to lose retail diversity

Discovery Wines back open
The four-alarm fire at 240 Houston on Thursday evening shuttered several businesses... One of them, Discovery Wines, reopened last night. EV Grieve reader BaHa said that there is a lot of ceiling damage, so the overhead lights are out. They are getting by with clip-on lights. However, the refrigeration is working...
Tim from Discovery Wines left this comment for us:
We feel so very lucky to have only water damage and smoke odor.
We must have dumped over 300 gallons of water between last night and this afternoon -- I've never been so happy about a leaking ceiling in all my life!
We've still got a lot of electrical work to straighten out, but we reopened at 5:30 tonight (Friday).
Best of luck to our displaced friends and neighbors and a big thank you to the firefighters who saved lives last night.
All fire coverage here.
The other day on Seventh Street
Between Avenue B and Avenue C... quickly riding through the spray of an open fire hydrant to make a delivery...
