Reader report: Former Rawvolution space will be real-estate management office
Rawvolution, the raw vegan cafe/retail store on East 12th Street, closed last December "for renovations."
Of course, they are not coming back... workers have been renovating the space these last six or so weeks. A tipster on the block said that the storefront will be "a management office for the building."
This is one of the 28-29 buildings that Jared Kushner's Kushner Companies bought up in the East Village in recent months... Per the tipster: "Maybe it will be the central office for all of Mr. Ivanka Trump's East Village real estate holdings." More specifically, the reader understands that this will be an office for Westminster Management, a division of Kushner Companies.

Blockbusters: ('Alleged') 'Bearial Shroud' discovered on East Second Street
This, of course, was the somber scene on East Second Street between Avenue B and Avenue C last Sunday morning... Easter Sunday morning...
And now, there are claims, thus far unsubstantiated, on the very same fence, that ... well, see for yourself...
A neighbor, who asked not be named, said that archaeologists excavated the only known JoBear la Stuffing-era burial shroud in the East Village.
What's more, the remains of the bear wrapped in the shroud are said to hold DNA evidence of a picnic basket. Carbon-dating studies suggested the shroud was made between A.D. 2007 and 2009.
However, until researchers can conduct more, uh, research, the use of "alleged" will accompany the description to help temper expectations and prevent the block from becoming a tourist trap for various pilgrim types.

Looking at the remains of last night's East Ninth Street car fire
Around 8 a.m., three police officers were on East Ninth Street ... at the scene of last night's fire between Avenue B and Avenue C that likely wiped out three cars... We overheard an officer asking the security guard on duty at the former P.S. 64 about the plywood outside the building ...
...later, via a reader...
... and EVG reader Galwegian, who noted the street cleaning is Monday on this side of the street...
More to come... At this point, we're not sure of the cause of the fire...
Updated noon:
After the planned meeting outside Ben Shaoul's Magnum Real Estate office last evening, John Penley headed here around 9 ... where he was joined by a handful of other people protesting the proposed dorm development of P.S. 64.
Via Facebook, Penley said that he "was tired and feeling sick and left about midnight." As for the other people in the group? "Later I was told cops had threatened to arrest people. I didn't hear about what happened until this morning."
The resident who took the top photo on this post said that he heard the protestors earlier, but didn't see anyone at the scene when the fire started around 1:20 a.m.
[Updated] Early-morning car fire on East 9th Street
A reader reports that there was a three-car fire last night next to the former P.S. 64 on East Ninth Street between Avenue B and Avenue C. The reader puts the time of the fire at 1:24 a.m. The FDNY had the fire extinguished by 1:45 a.m., according to the reader.
And via Twitter...
pic of the initial car on fire, doesn't do the scene justice. 12 firefighters on the scene at 9th and b. twitter.com/drelly/status/…

And another video...
At last evening's Ben Shaoul 'meeting' on Broadway
As reported earlier in the week, longtime East Village activist John Penley was planning a weekend-long campout at the offices of developer Ben Shaoul's Magnum Real Estate on Broadway. However, those plans changed, from a weekend-long campout to what Penley said would be "a meeting about the situation especially about others affected by Shaoul and his sledgehammer."
From these photos, via Facebook, you can see that several people joined Penley in front of the Magnum offices on Broadway just below Houston...
The NYPD was on the scene, though we're unaware of any actions that they may have taken again Penley and company...
At 9 p.m., Penley planned to stop by the former the former PS 64 and CHARAS/El Bohio community center on East Ninth Street to protest developer Gregg Singer's plan to turn the building into a dorm. We hope to have more on that later.
As for the "sledgehammer" nickname, that dates back seven years... you can read background at Curbed and The New York Times.
