82 E. Third St. is for sale

A reader pointed out this "property for sale" sign above 82 E. Third St. ... and asked if we knew how long the building here between First Avenue and Second Avenue had on the market.

We don't know. [Per the comments: It has been for sale about three months.] There's not much info on the listing either — mostly just the $10 million price tag.

There's no mention of the building being for sale at Streeteasy, where there are two active listings for apartments available starting Sept. 1.

Here are the details on one unit that's asking $4,599:

Large Ground Floor 3 Bedroom Flr-Thru Apartment
Hardwood Floors, French Doors, 3pc Bathroom and Shared Rear Garden/Patio,
Close to Colleges
Students Welcomed!!!
APARTMENT SE- Available September 1st
Rent From Only $4,599

Karl Fischer-designed apartment building taking off on East Third Street

It seemed like nothing much was happening at 316-318 E. Third St., the future of a Karl Fischer-designed, 33-unit apartment building. Now, the structure at the site of a former single-family home from the 1830s is ready to dwarf its neighbors...

Soon enough.

As we noted Saturday, Blythe Boyd reopened a vegan ice cream shop in the Lula's space on East Sixth Street... no word yet on its new name...

Oh, and Hawa Smoothies has opened at 422 E. 14th St. between First Avenue and Avenue A ...

And at this point, we're not sure when Lucy's reopens after her usual summer break... the sign was slightly altered...

Flooding at the Tompkins Square Park Dog Run

EVG correspondent Derek Berg notes this scene at the Tompkins Square Park Dog Run today... The area around the doggy pool is taped up like this ...

He recently spoke with a city engineer who was inspecting the area outside the dog run because of complaints of "flooding." He said that there was probably more water flow than the drains can handle.

[Updated] The Shadow returns

Chris Flash let us know that The Shadow has returned... "Our last issue was published EXACTLY five years ago — we'll be publishing every 3-4 months from here on," said Flash, the publisher.

You can find copies of the underground paper, which debuted in 1989, this weekend during the 25th Annual Riot Reunion shows in Tompkins Square Park.

Updated:

Stores carrying The Shadow include: St. Mark's Books, East Village Books (St. Mark's, between First + Ave A), Gem Spa, Blue Stockings, MORUS (Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space) at 155 Avenue C, and more to come.

Per Chris: "The Shadow is all about neighbors supporting local businesses that support the community. We need more stores and venues to sell The Shadow."

[Updated] Lula's Sweet Apothecary apparently reopening today

[From May]

Back in May we noted that Lula's Sweet Apothecary, the popular vegan ice cream shop on East Sixth Street, had been closed for a reorganization.

Fast forward to today.

So happy Blythe Boyd, founder of @lulasweet is opening her new vegan shop at 3pm today at 516 E 6th (A/B). See you there! @evgrieve

— VegChic (@VegChic) August 3, 2013

There's no mention of a reopening just yet on Lula's Facebook page or website.

Updated:

As we understand it, the shop will have a yet-to-be-determined new name.

For conversation starters, there's always a Bud Light Lime Display Tree

So there's this. A tipster shared this Craigslist post dated July 28 ... Per the all-caps post, it's a "GREAT DISPLAY RACK AND CONVERSATION STARTER."

Seeing as it's Craiglist, you never know if this is for real... Also, the address for pick-up is the St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery.

In any event, not sure if this would start a conversation as much as stifle it...
