The East Fifth St. Tree Committee reveals its policy about carts
By now, some people may know better than to chain a bike to the tree guards on East Fifth Street between Second Avenue and Cooper Square … to be fair, they have no mercy for your cart either.
You've been warned! Bam.

The first nice Sunday of 1987 in the East Village
Spotted this over at the always-interesting Flaming Pablum and wanted to share it here… It's a video from Nelson Sullivan titled "The first nice Sunday of 1987 in the East Village."
We've posted some of Nelson's videos from this era before, like here … and here.
A commenter at Flaming Pablum noted that Sullivan's archive is now at the Fales Library at NYU.
Sullivan died of a heart attack on July 4, 1989.

The Strand using sprinklers to evict the homeless — now in comic form
As DNAinfo first reported yesterday, the Strand installed an outdoor sprinkler system to drive away homeless people sleeping under their red awning along East 12th Street, according to employees. (Management had said the sprinklers were there to clean off the sidewalk.)
The incident prompted Strand employee Greg Farrell to draw a comic based on his firsthand experience of the situation.
The comic is posted at the blog "Strand Ask Us," a nine-part account of the labor struggle that took place between the workers and management at the bookstore in the spring of 2012. (A book on this is due next year from Microcosm publishing.)
Farrell said that the sprinklers were installed this past summer. "So, in fairness, there was no risk of anybody freezing to death at the time."

At Vanishing New York, Jeremiah Moss discusses the sprinkler situation ...:
So many of the corporations in the city do horrible, inhumane things every day, on a much larger, often global scale, than spraying water on the homeless. Boycott the businesses that rely on sweatshop and child labor. Boycott the businesses that commit horrifying daily acts of animal cruelty. Boycott the businesses that deliberately destroy the fabric of our communities--and our environment. Do not boycott the Strand. To attack the Strand and not Apple, Amazon, The Gap, and others like them, is a gross misplacement of anger and energy.
