Earlier this morning (around 1 a.m.?), several readers noted falling debris on East 10th Street just west of Avenue B...

Per @mattheworley: "A mantle just fell off a 3rd floor window above Blind Barber, almost falling on the line to get in. 1000 firemen outside my apt now."

We didn't hear of any injuries. This morning, EV Grieve reader Ted Roden's photos give us an idea of what happened... you can see the damage to the DSA Management awning...




Here's another shot from @rviloria ...

'De Flea' Arts & Crafts Market returns this afternoon

From the EV Grieve inbox...from our friend Our Lady of Perpetual PMS...


After a July-August summer hiatus, this artist-run, monthly arts flea market returns to the East Village! The "De Flea" Market benefits a different animal rescue group each month! We'll be raffling off a ton of great prizes and 100% of the raffle proceeds go to our guest charity.

This month our guests will be WAGGY TAIL RESCUE. Shop cheap jewelry, vintage clothes, kitsch-punk accesories/crafts & more. Handmade artwork from local artists & personalities such as Lynn Von (Da Willys, Vondells), Cid Scantleberry, Our Lady of Pertual PMS & more.

A laid-back good time in the tradition of East Village activism, infused with rock and roll spirit, for a good cause! Held in a spacious back room where DJ Chandler provides the music, & Ms. Chloe provides the libations in the front bar. 2 for 1 happy hour specials if you wish to indulge.

Held once per month on the second Sunday!

Introducing the latest line of defense against the Tompkins Square Park rats


Not the guitar player!


After writing that stupid headline, I did a little research. We may be on to something here. From the Success With Poultry blog:

Rats are primarily nocturnal animals, so if you are regularly seeing them in the day, it probably means that you have a lot of them. They are not interested in your chickens as such, but they are interested in the food that your chickens are eating ... A rat might attack a chicken, but an angry chicken can be a mighty foe, and it is not unknown for chickens to kill (and eat) rats.

Life lesson for today: an angry chicken can be a mighty foe

At the Old OLD Essex Market this weekend

From the EV Grieve inbox ... we like Fly's work...
