An all-city collision on Avenue B
Oh, this happened this morning around 10ish ... as far as a sorta eyewitness could tell... a city sanitation car traveling east on Fourth Street may have hit a police car driving north on Avenue B. This is on the speculative side. However, photographic evidence suggests such a scenario.
Not sure who may be at fault here. The fellows on the scene weren't real chitty-chatty about what happened. Doesn't appear that anyone was seriously injured. An ambulance was on the scene.

Everyone loves Lucy's
Ludwika Mickevicius is the subject of the "Character Study" feature in the Times. You know her better, of course as the Lucy of Lucy's on Avenue A.
A quick excerpt then you can go read the whole thing...
As the East Village cleaned up around it, Lucy’s remained the prototypical dive bar: a comfortable cave bathed in low red light, with a dingy dropped ceiling and worn linoleum on the floor. One arcade game, one jukebox, two pool tables, two small drinking tables, a dozen stools and a heavy oak bar. All are steeped in the character of Ms. Mickevicius: straightforward and practical. No frills, no nonsense, no whining.
“Many people hear about me and they come in and say, ‘Lucy, don’t change anything; we like it like this,’ ” she said. “Plus, change costs a lot of money.”
Also, Lucy was the subject of a feature at the NYU Local a few weeks back... From that piece:
As for the future of Lucy’s, the hard work keeps her from thinking about the longterm. The song “Death is Not the End,” a Bob Dylan cover by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, eerily drones in the background. “I don’t have a plan exactly, I have no time to think about this!” She laughs. “I think some day is coming and I must think of what to do, but for now, I just work like regular, working, caring. Yeah, that’s enough, especially for me, just one woman.”
Report: Police looking for 2 men who robbed woman on East Third Street
From the NYPD Daily Blotter in the Post today... Cops are looking for two men (photo above) who reportedly robbed a 19-year-old woman walking past 185 E. Third St. about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. One man allegedly grabbed the victim's purse. "His accomplice, wearing a surgical mask, brandished a black handgun and snatched her iPhone, cops said."
Per the Post:
Police say the unarmed robber is between 20 and 25 years old, has a thin build and is about 6 feet tall. He wore a green hooded jacket, blue jeans, and tan sneakers during the attack.
The armed thug is about the same age, 5-foot-5, with a medium build, cops said.

Fire on Orchard Street
You've probably heard the sirens this morning... or seen the FDNY race down the Avenues... A fire broke out at 101 Orchard St. this morning. We're sending you over to BoweryBoogie and The Lo-Down who have updated reports...
The casualties of wind
As we first reported, it is windy today. How windy?
It blew some sort of animal pelt or, perhaps, an Ewok, into this tree on Avenue A...
...it ravaged the 7-Eleven signage on the Bowery...
...and whipped the pants off this guest outside the Standard East Village...
Careful out there.

Hawk, wind
High wind warning though 6 p.m. tomorrow. Gusts up to 60 mph! Per our sources at the Weather Channel. Careful out there. And please send us your photos of things blown over.
Meanwhile, above photo by Bobby Williams earlier today.
Sliding home! Get your penthouse duplex with a stainless steel slide!
Last March, we posted that item about the condo on East 14th Street with a slide.
These photos may jog your memory.
Oh, yeah. That East Village condo with a slide!
Anyway, turned out that Phil Galfond, a professional poker player, owned this place in the notorious A Building. And now, as The Wall Street Journal reports (via Curbed), the penthouse duplex is for sale — $3.99 million.
Can we get that slide to zip us right into the Blarney Cove?
