About those tanks on Seventh Street and Avenue A
Remember those tanks that I mentioned earlier today on Seventh Street and Avenue A....?
Well, as these photos by EV Grieve reader Bobby Williams show.... they attracted a lot of attention this afternoon from the NYPD and FDNY.....

Sammy spotted in Tompkins Square Park
Last evening, we posted information about a missing dog on 11th Street and Avenue A... Meanwhile, we couldn't help but notice new Sammy flyers around Tompkins Square Park this past week...
Per the Help Find Sammy site, someone spotted him this past Monday at Seventh Street and Avenue B... According to the site: "Latest Update: That he is alone, running around Tompkins Square Park." There is a $500 reward for his return.
Also, we had noted that various people had been adding comments to the flyers... here's one of the flyers from Second Street and Avenue A that I never noticed before...
In the comments here... the person behind some of the Sammy Sign Alterations chimes in...

Things left on the street
Seventh Street and Avenue A this morning. I always enjoy walking around in the morning, looking for odd things left behind on the street.

City doesn't give a shit about these historic East Village townhouses
On Tuesday, the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation (GVSHP) and other groups... not to mention various politicos ... rallied to help save the historic townhouses at 326 and 328 E. Fourth St. The GVSHP doesn't have good news to report:
Unfortunately, as we gathered in front of the houses on Tuesday to make this last appeal to the city to consider landmark designation, the city was issuing permits to the developer to allow the houses' destruction, effectively foreclosing the possibility of landmark designation.
Former Señor Swanky's will soon be a new 'local'
And over at Bleecker and LaGuardia, the former Señor Swanky's is shaping up... As Eater noted, it will become a gastropub aimed at a more "mature" audience. And, given the sign, maybe for local mature audiences? In this neighborhood? Good luck! [Thanks to Goggla for the tip on this...I attended the CB2 meeting last summer when the owners here made their pitch...]
The back room at Otto's Shrunken Head reopens tonight
As you know, a fire severely damaged Otto's Shrunken Head on 14th Street on Oct. 24. While the front room reopened on Oct. 30 ... the back room needed a lot more attention. Otto's regular DJ Xerox passes along the good news that the back room reopens tonight with the Rebel Night Rockabilly dance party, and then the first bands take the stage tomorrow night.

Bank robber looks familiar
Police have released the photo of a man they say robbed the Capitol One Bank at 21 University Place on Eighth Street, according to DNAinfo.
Despite the similarities in the photos, I suppose we can rule out one possible suspect....

A reader question
EV Lambo makes its national debut
This car needs a nickname
Several readers have noted the red Ferrari parked here on Avenue B near Tompkins Square Park earlier this week. What will EV Lambo have to say about this?
