Supervising the purchase of her first East Village Christmas/druid tree. Joseph is the young man who sold it to us at St Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery. A very pleasant fellow. And ours was apparently the first tree they've sold this year. They clapped for us and everything. Kita was impressed and is excited for the holidays.
Detectives are seeking whoever e-mailed a pornographic photo of a child and a man to a Lower East Side woman, sources said.
The 29-year-old woman told investigators that the image came via her Instagram account at 7 p.m. Nov. 12, and that she didn’t know the people in it.
Well, all you tin-eared tintinabulists....These are not real church bells---rather a clever assemblage of recorded sounds run through well placed speakers...And they aren't coordinated with real time merely an approximation-Can't the priest check his cell-phone to at least be accurate?...The original bell was amazing and it was removed and not reinstalled for reasons that remain a troubling mystery. These recorded sounds are horrible and as fake as Hostess Twinkies. As a neighbor who lives quite close to the church I wish they would stop them completely.
We'll be donating proceeds to the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which is a great local charity that is on the ground actively helping and fixing things in many of the hardest hit communities, including Staten Island, Brooklyn, and the Rockaways. You can even earmark what area you want your donations to go to, when you give.
Sad News All: Sunday will be our last day open. :( Hope to see all of you until then!

With the business battling high rent all year, eight days without income during the post-hurricane blackout and the winter a bad time for sales, Stogo's owners made the call to close.
"We were talking about closing, but [Hurricane Sandy] put a nail in the coffin," said the source, who works at the store on East 10th Street between Second and Third Avenue.
"We were going to try and fundraise to move, but then Sandy happened and I didn't want to ask people to help move our shop when people were homeless and had lost everything," the source added.
