20 years ago: The East Village Memorial Day riot on Avenue A

Bob Arihood has photos and a narrative of what happened after the NYPD shuts down the "Housing is a Human Right" concert in Tompkins Square Park on Memorial Day 1991. You can read his report here.

Casualties of the heatwave

Not what we meant by beating the heat ... on the Bowery near Fifth Street.

Thanks to Krikor for the photos. (Find more here on Flickr.)

With 7-Elevens in NYC, how would we ever know about these 'Hangover Part II' promos?

The 'NYPD Rapists' flyer campaign

Someone has been posting these flyers of Kenneth Moreno and Franklin Mata, the two NYPD officers acquitted last week of charges of raping an East Village woman.

I spotted the flyers along the Bowery and Second Avenue... these were outside the Mars Bar...

The Voice has more on Friday's protest downtown. The Post has the latest ugly turn in the case today, in which the ~~ex-~~wife of Moreno calls the rape accuser "a money-grubbing liar."
