Breaking: Christmas in August; O Come, All Ye Faithful


EVG reader Rob just sent this along from First Avenue near East Third Street... no newspaper for authentication purposes... (So the judges will deduct a few points off for that...) Still.

UGH: Another large tree branch falls in Tompkins Square Park

Walking to watch the Tompkins Square Park Riot Reunion Shows this afternoon, we noticed that the Meadow was empty... it is hot, but...


Turns out that it's closed. The reason: A large branch fell, as these photos by Bobby Williams show... UGH.






A Park worker told Bobby that the limb came down around 2 a.m. ... (apparently it was a little windy last night?)

Last time a branch fell in the Park, workers had to take down the whole tree. We can't lose another one. By my probably inaccurate count, we've lost eight trees in the Park since Hurricane Irene last summer.

And now, 5 photos of garbage from this weekend





Splatter effect on East Second Street


Spotted on East Second Street between Avenue B and Avenue C... does anyone know who the artist is...?

More of the stars-and-stripes collection ...

[Updated] We do not know what this is on St. Mark's Place


Spotted by @thestarkonline on St. Mark's Place between First Avenue and Avenue A ... Uh... Good lord...

And in the light of day...


A Facebook friend thinks it's a piece of sausage.

Today in photos of Cadillacs

Scaffolding and blue paint at St. Brigid's

Workers are putting up scaffolding this morning at St. Brigid's here on Avenue B at Eighth Street... presumably to start work on the small spires for the north tower...


Meanwhile, glad we got a photo of this on the plywood the other day...

Because a worker slapped on another coat of blue paint today...


Summer loving had me a blast, Summer loving happened so fast

Tell me more, tell me more
Like does he have a car?


Oh, forgot... Summer Streets... Fourth Avenue/Lafayette... and more...


Per the Department of T website:

Join us for the fifth annual Summer Streets! On August 4, 11 and 18 from 7 am to 1 pm, nearly seven miles of New York City's streets will be opened up for everyone to play, run, walk and bike. From the Brooklyn Bridge to Central Park, along Park Avenue and connecting streets you can rock climb at Spring Street, receive a free bike helmet at 51st Street, soar through the air on a zip line at Foley Square or just stroll along and experience the city's streets in a new way—all for free.

The sign say it goes until 2; the website 1... we'll call it even at 1:30...
