Whatever happened to all the open fire hydrants?

On Saturday after, there was a small block party for the church on Seventh Street between Avenue B and Avenue C....



Notable to me for the open fire hydrant... I was surprised to find that no one was really taking advantage of this... And I just don't seem to see the open hydrants as much these days. (Is there an Open Fire Hydrant App now for smartphones or something...?)

MORE from Art Around the Park

Guess you can tell that I liked the Art Around the Park. Wish the work could be left up longer to enjoy. Realized that I didn't take photos of anything else yesterday. Thankfully Bob Arihood did. Melanie has photos too. And Jill photographs the photographers photographing the art.

People were standing in line to get into Trader Joe's this morning

Maybe this happens every Sunday morning. And why?

Street fair!

The lights are back on inside St. Brigid's

As noted yesterday, the renovation of St. Brigid's has begun -- the sidewalk shed along Avenue B is back ... And, last night, we had to walk over to check on the progress ... and we saw one of the loveliest scenes that we've seen in many years (since the church closed in 2001?) ... the lights inside St. Brigid's were on last night...peeking through the boarded-up windows... the photos here really don't do it justice...

I know what you did last summer

Construction crew spotted at St. Brigid's

A reader said that he/she noticed a construction crew at work behind St. Brigid's. Like real work, moving big chunks of stuff. Hmm. Photos to come...
