Cleanup today at 26 St. Mark's Place
This morning, crews were on the scene at 26 St. Mark's Place, where a fire broke out yesterday...

Earlier this week, an EV Grieve reader told me that the NYC Department of Education closed the Open Road Park, which is adjacent to the East Side Community High School on East 12th Street between Avenue A and First Avenue.

The park reopened as of July 1.
We thought this most recent closure would also be temporary.
Not so.
The park's skateboard ramps have been discarded along with the rest of the trash along East 12th Street ...
