NYPD adds a portable tower on 13th Street
EV Grieve correspondent Bobby Williams notes the arrival of a portable NYPD watch tower on 13th Street between Avenue B and Avenue C in the Campos Plaza... Not sure just yet why this has been added...
More demolition-related scaffolding for 35 Cooper Square
EV Grieve correspondent Bobby Williams pointed out some new scaffolding at the soon-to-be-be-demolished 35 Cooper Square...
Still no word yet on when demolition will take place. Shall we start a pool? In any event, at the very least, I hope the developer doesn't chop down the tree here too. Or maybe he doesn't think that's worth saving either.

East Village Farm & Grocery reopens today
As we noted Friday, East Village Farm reopens today after that awful fire back in January. The Farm management seems pretty excited about reopening. In fact, they invited EV Grieve reader Pedro inside to take photos...
Pedro declined, though he did snap a few from the sidewalk...
Meanwhile, they were open yesterday just to sell flowers in honor of Talking Heads drummer Chris Frantz's birthday. And Mother's Day.

May 7, 8; ICTTS convenes emergency session — MacDougal cites 'historic' weekend
An incredible 24 hours or so hereabouts... Last night, EV Grieve reader Riian sends the following from Second Avenue and East Third Street — featuring a noteworthy assist by a hand.
Meanwhile, apparently Christmastown was closing up on Broadway and Fourth Street today. First, this shot from EV Grieve reader BH, who took time for a victory lap of sorts. "Today, baby! That's right! BOOYA!! ICTTS don't like it they can kiss my ass!!"
Why I never!
Regardless, this pile was verified. @sandwichboarder sent this photo from the same location...
Upon learning of this load of Christmas trees, Gruber MacDougal, spokesperson for the International Coalition of Tree Tossing in the Spring (ICTTS), immediately left Aman-i-Khás, a lodge located outside Ranthambhore in the Indian state of Rajasthan where he was on holiday with his mother. He is expected to make a statement upon landing at JFK tomorrow night.

Help support Max Fish
As you may have heard by now, the NYPD shuttered Max Fish on Friday night, the latest in its LES nightlife clampdown. (The Lo-Down had the story first.)
The folks at Max Fish sent us an email:
Max Fish was shut down by the police Friday night. We're figuring out a plan of action, but for the time being, we've created an online petition here.
Per the petition:
Max Fish opened on Ludlow Street in 1989. We have nurtured and supported the Lower East Side arts community for over 20 years — a community that is increasingly threatened by a variety of outside sources including landlords, real-estate developers and the NYPD. Your signature shows support for the continued existence of a vibrant and positive establishment — one that embodies the creative spirit of the LES and elevates the quality of life for the community.
Mayor Bikenstein!
From
He’s grappled with teacher unions, gun sellers and public pensions, but as his third term heats up, it’s becoming clear what Mayor Bloomberg’s most visible legacy will be — remaking, or rather undoing, the city’s streets.
He’s squeezed out cars in favor of floral planters, OK’d “pop-up” cafes and bike lanes, but the pedaler-in-chief saved the crown jewel of changes for last — a public-rental program deploying 10,000 bicycles to 600 sidewalk kiosks. The initiative, which will be the third-largest in the world, behind Paris and Hangzhou, China, will be tested this summer, and rolled out in 2012. Critics say it’s community sentiment be damned.
“Do people have any say in this? They have to walk somewhere,” said Andrew Albert, transportation co-chair of the Upper West Side’s Community Board 7, about the large bike racks the city plans to install pretty much everywhere.
