Rite Aid finally shoveling their sidewalks
Earlier, a resident who lives and works near the Rite Aid at First Avenue and Fifth Street told us that the drug store never shovels their sidewalks... creating treacherous footing for shoppers...
However, around 5, we got word that Rite Aid dispatched three men to clear the sidewalk...
The first shot is from EV Grieve reader Brian...
And ...
...thought they haven't gotten around to the Fifth Street side just yet...

First Avenue Rite Aid still hasn't shoveled their sidewalk
From the EV Grieve inbox...
I live on 1st Ave & work on 5th St between 1-2. The Rite Aid on the corner of 5th St & 1st, 81 First Ave, has not shoveled their sidewalk — this happens every single time it snows. I've called the store, called the district manager, tried to get a message higher up than that. I've asked the precinct to say something. I'm sick of this & it's obviously a danger.
No Thunder Blizzard coverage is complete without photos of co-eds in their underwear or snowball fights
And you can find more photos and tomfoolery at NYULocal ... snow day photos here...
...monumental snowball fight shots here...
Updated: Oh... these are making the rounds... The shots were sent to other folks as well... Gothamist had the underwear photos earlier. Meanwhile, I think there's something going on in Egypt...

Now that we're done looking at pretty pictures of snow...
... we're hearing about what hell it was getting around via the MTA...
The long wait for an L this morning at 14th Street... pic via Nat Esten, who said "what a mess."
We also heard from people waiting for buses... that never came, even though the Avenues were clear...

A Thunder Blizzard Wonderland
Tompkins Square Park is a post Thunder Blizzard Wonderland. (And I promise to stop using Thunder Blizzard soon enough!)

'Wow'
That was the reaction of a man taking in Tompkins Square Park this morning after the Great Thunder Blizzard of 2011.
And if you want some more 'wow,' then check out Bob Arihood's photos from 2 a.m. in Tompkins Square Park. (Nadie Se Conoce)
Thunder Blizzard damage: Downed awning at Kafana
EV Grieve reader AC notes that the awning at Serbian eatery Kafana (try the Gibanica!) on Avenue C came down during last night's storm...
The Great Thunder Blizzard of 2011
As you may have noticed last night, it snowed. Again. A lot. It's actually nice where I am in Bermuda, so... (That joke never gets old!)
Team coverage starts now! (And more photos to come...)

From EV Grieve contributor Shawn Chittle.... Notice three things from these late-night shots: You can't see the Williamsburg Bridge per usual; the streets haven't been plowed yet; the delivery guy comes through!

I love Joe Strummer... but the future is written in terms of tomorrow's weather: More snow.

Is the 9th Precinct for rent?
Oh, probably not! But this Streeteasy listing gave us a jolt (and laugh!) of sorts... It's a rental (one bedroom, one bathroom!) at 323 E. Fifth St. For $20,000. Then you start looking at the details...
The 9th Precinct is at 321 E. 5th St. ... the building directly to the east is 325 ... This listing is certainly a mistake of some kind... Or maybe the city is renting out some of the extra space to help close the budget gap...

2011, the year punk pizza broke: Two Boots introducing the CBGB slice
Lenny Kaye will be on hand Friday afternoon at 2 for the unveiling of "CBGB (OMFUG)" pizza — available only at the 74 Bleecker St. Two Boots near Broadway.
Per an e-mail:
"Join us for a free taste of 'The CBGB (OMFUG),' check out the rock 'n roll memorabilia, and look out for other indigenous pizzas coming soon to all Two Boots locations."
The pizza has chicken, broccoli, garlic and basil pesto. (A slice is $3.75.)
As the tipster who sent this along noted, "I'm not sure how well broccoli goes with pesto, but it's Two Boots — they'll make it work."
