A shattered window at Horus Cafe
EV Grieve reader Ted Roden notes this morning that someone smashed (or kicked in) a window at Horus Cafe on Sixth Street at Avenue B...
He says that it doesn't appear that anyone entered the place; and that it probably happened in full view of the security camera on the corner...

It's a wonderful life now on Avenue A, for several reasons...
Playing at (or outside) 2A ... and no woo-wooers on Avenue A...

Chalk vandals targeting Avenue A sidewalks now
Oh, wait... outside Tompkins Square Bagels this afternoon...
[Thanks to Dan on 13th for this shot!]
Dec. 24
14th Street and Avenue A today via EV Grieve reader Tom... very likely not left over from xmas 2010... But a commendable effort nonetheless by Tom...
But, in a shocking reveal from Tom:
The tossed tree was my neighbor's Christmas 2010 tree. Honest to God!
If so, then this is clearly the winner... The previous best was Aug. 23...
Tests are pending. Hold all tickets.
Manny delivers the rock salt

Today in rants: the Peter Stuyvesant Post Office
Via Craigslist today...
PETER STUYVESANT P.O. WORSE EVER! (East Village)
Date: 2011-12-24, 7:14AM EST
Peter Stuyvesant Post Office has done it again, lost another one of my packages — and they seem not to care in the least. They scanned it delivered last Monday, December 5th and I WAS NOT EVEN HOME. Who did they give it to? They don't know and they don't care. It is appalling that the residents of the East Village must be held hostage by this shoddy Post Office. It has the monopoly and realizes there is nothing we can do about it. I spoke to a temporary Postal Carrier about my lost package, trying to get information, and her response was, "I am just here temporarily. At least I hope so. This is the worst Post Office ever and I am trying desperately to get reassigned." Even their own workers know it sucks. WORST POST OFFICE EVER.
Does anyone like this post office branch on East 14th Street near Avenue A?
In case you still need a tree...
Plenty left around as a quick survey this morning revealed...
At the Hamptons Deli Grocery Marketplace Store place on First Avenue at 13th Street...

On Houston near the Bowery...
No sign if the shredders ... just yet...

More about the murder case against Davawn Robinson
In our roundup earlier today, we included a link to the Post article on the murder case against Davawn Robinson, who is accused of killing CUNY professor Edgard Mercado in his Avenue C apartment. After seven days of deliberations, the judge declared a mistrial. Troy Masters has a thorough account of the trial at Gay City News. You may find that article here.
