See what you want in the bloody mouths of toothy fish, in the stacks of slaughtered tree trunks or in the factory-like humanoid forms spilling diamonds and money from their orifices. The center design is clear — a triangle if black sky around a dead grey street light above a triangle of water with floating debris.
Beginning at 6 a.m., those with license plates ending in an odd number will be able to buy gas on odd numbered days.
Those with license plates ending in an even number will be able to buy gas on even numbered days.
Water pressure in the building goes up only a few floors, elevators are disabled and residents are forced to trudge up and down the stairs for necessities.
“My daughter goes up and down 14 floors, five times a day, to bring me food and water,” said Iris Bido, 71.
We need some help down here. Our little section of Manhattan — affectionately known as Alphabet City - was completely flooded when the East River broke its banks during Hurricane Sandy.
This area has a lot of heart, and it's also got a lot of housing projects, lower income families and people who were struggling to make do before this storm.
I've been talking to neighbors and friends on our street, where most of the buildings took on 10 to 15 feet of water in the basements. Besides being weeks away from restoring running water, power and heat in a lot of them, the housing projects are in dire need of assistance.
We dropped off dozens of blankets and jackets and socks. 50 hats, 50 scarves and 50 mittens. 50 Power bars, Clorox bleach, rubber gloves and can openers.
AND! We somehow managed to find 12 packages of D Batteries!
(If you live in Lower Manhattan right now, you know that finding a store with a D Battery is the equivalent of finding Narnia ... in your shoe.)
Today, we spent roughly $900 for people in need. Oh, and we gave Diane at K-Mart a $200 gift card to give to her sister in New Jersey. Her sister lost everything in the storm, but we are working to make it better.
Voters got an earful of crunching metal while exiting the Voting station at Avenue C and 11th Street. A flatbed truck transporting a car was performing a right turn onto 11th Street from Avenue C, when a livery car service sedan, apparently pulling out of bus stop, got a taste of Heavy Metal.
Dear Neighbors, Friends and Community partners:
Housing Works’ Keith D. Cylar Health Center is now reopened, after being closed all of last week due to Hurricane Sandy. The center is in Zone A so we were ordered to evacuate and therefore suspend services.
Today we are open and ready to serve again. Our full-fledged medical facility offers primary care to anyone regardless of HIV status, insurance or ability to pay (sliding scale fees will be offered). Our new Cylar House Behavioral Health Clinic offers long-term psychotherapy, crisis intervention, psychiatric services, and other mental health services and accepts most insurance, but will also service local residents regardless of HIV status or ability to pay (sliding scale fees will be offered).
We want to thank all of our staff who worked to get our center up again, in order to support the community and prevent our community members from going another day without receiving lifesaving services.
If you have any questions about our services, please contact us: 743-749 East 9th St.
212-677-7999 ext. 4202
Primary Care Hours: Monday-Friday: 9am-5pm
Behavioral Health Clinic Hours: Monday—Thursday: 7am-7pm, Friday: 7am-6pm
Two visits from tech this past weekend. Last report from tech was "no dial tone in equipment in backyard at 528 E 11th St," which connects to equipment in backyard on 10th St. There is service closer to Ave A.
Business on ground floor of my building was told by Verizon that service will be restored "by Dec 3." No neighbors in my building have landlines. No luck actually speaking to Verizon.
I'd like to find out if others are in this situation, and what we can do together. I'm a senior in a 5th fl walkup. My "emergency cell" is $.30/min, so I need a working landline.
