We got Sax appeal

Not even a film shoot can move this motorcycle
This motorcycle on East Fourth Street near First Avenue has been stationary and chained to the signpost for at least a year, EV Grieve reader @bndo figures.
Meanwhile, today, all the cars on this block (and others) were moved or towed to make way for the "Smash" film crews. For some unknown reason, as @bndo points out, the tow people spared the motorcycle.
Also: Earlier today on St. Mark's Place: Someone who didn't pay attention to the No Parking signs that "Smash" crews posted earlier in the week...

Oh, on second thought, André Balazs only paid $67.5 million for the Cooper Square Hotel
And not the $91 million that was previously reported. This news comes via Roland Li at the International Business Times. Read it here.
Meanwhile, Goggla notes the end of the mural (Balazsification) on the side of the former Cooper Square Hotel... now called TheDradnats Standard East Village
The Shepard Fairey mural went up in April 2010.
Meanwhile, some fallout...
