[W]e've noticed several dead rats in Tompkins Square Park and in the surrounding neighborhood over the last couple of weeks. This is NOT normal and anyone finding a dead rat should report it to 311. If one is found within the park, please notify a park employee so they can dispose of it. We have concerns that with all the trash in and around the park the last several weeks, people could be using rodenticide. We currently have an outstanding inquiry with the Parks Department to confirm whether or not they are still employing nontoxic dry ice for rat control.
The paper first started in 1955 under founders Dan Wolf, Ed Fancher, John Wilcock and Norman Mailer.
Missing from the previous post — a video of the 66-minute set ...On July 4, 1992, I saw Sonic Youth at SummerStage in Central Park. Sun Ra and his Intergalactic Arkestra opened. I remember SY being as frenzied as I'd ever seen them as they played a Dirty-heavy set. (The record was just about to be released.) I don't remember much else, except that I loved every minute of the afternoon.
