The Cramps with "Weekend on Mars" circa 1978.

Do you want to see photos of the Mars Bar being demolished?

After our post Monday showing the workers putting up scaffolding over a three-day period outside the Mars Bar ... a reader sent along an email, basically asking if we could cool it on the demo shots. The reader compared it to seeing photos of a loved at the end of a life, and that the photos on various blogs and news site had become a macabre sporting event.

Hmm. We explained that we weren't doing this with any woo-woo. Just a matter of following the story.

Let us know if you have an opinion on the matter.

Because the netting is in place. The chutes are ready. There are porta poopers. There's even a construction shed now on East First Street. As these photos from Bobby Williams yesterday show...

A look back: East Village Summer 2011

Today is the first day of fall. Or, if you wish, autumn. But fall really sounds less pretentious.

This past summer, we posted 1,036, uh, posts.

Here are just a few of them.
