The worst slush-filled corners of the East Village
Based on e-mails and reader comments, here are three of the more difficult corners to navigate... certainly there are others...

Rite Aid sidewalk showing signs of improvement
We're continuing to monitor the sidewalk situation outside Rite Aid on First Avenue and Fifth Street... after several complaints, someone shoveled the Fifth Street side of the store...
Last night!
This afternoon!
First Avenue was still a little slick...
And thanks (again!) to @jorgeortiz85 for this shot this evening...

[Updated] At the rally for 35 Cooper Square
Unfortunately, given our work schedule, we couldn't attend this afternoon's rally at 35 Cooper Square... EV Grieve reader Lisa was there... and she took the following shots...
The Local East Village was there too, and they estimate a crowd of 100. Read their report here. More on this to come...
Patrick Hedlund has filed his story over at DNAinfo. You can read it here. NYULocal has a post with photos here. Here's BoweryBoogie's report.

The price you pay for trying to be fashionable following a Thunder Blizzard
Of all the wonderful photos I've seen from this week's snowstorm, this is my favorite. So much to take in... It's the work of Lindsay Wengler via her website — Single Linds Reflex. (Reprinted with permission!)
Breaking: 11th Street shut down; some sort of 'nasty-smelling smoke'
Thanks to EV Grieve reader Patrick for the photo and info:
"They've shut down 11th btw 1st and 2nd aves. Some sort of nasty-smelling smoke coming from a grate/manhole. They've got con-ed emergency crews on the block."
Actually, Rite Aid's sidewalks are still really treacherous
Last evening, we noted that Rite Aid on First Avenue and Fifth Street had finally started shoveling their thundersnow-filled sidewalks...
However, a reader noted early this morning that they "have not touched the 5th St side of the building! And two stacks of crates have fallen or been knocked into the path, so it's even worse."
Thanks to @jorgeortiz85 for these shots a little earlier today ... the crates have been removed, but there are still big chunks of ice and snow — and no clear path.
Meanwhile, on the First Avenue side... Per reader MagicD:
"A bad job of shoveling — right now (11am) the front of the store has a slushy slippery little path, and the side of the store isn't shoveled at all — the snow is just packed down. some poor guys are trying to roll boxes along it and having a terrible time."

An East Village construction job that's seemingly on schedule
Seeing the empty lots between Avenue C and Avenue D from 1987 in the photos above reminded me... Haven't checked in on the Dona Petra Santiago Apartments on East Ninth Street between Avenue C and Avenue D. Plans call for an eight-story, 57-unit facility for seniors.
And here's how things are going... At the start of construction in November 2009, officials said work would be completed by the winter of 2011...
... seems as if they're right on schedule....
