Virtually Hands-Free

East Villagers are busy people — they do not like to waste time.

And fires are such a nuisance! That's why this East 3rd Street fire escape ladder was lowered:

Ladder lowered, in case of fire.

Since many of the buildings in the East Village are virtual tinderboxes, you can never be too careful! With all the things you have to take with you in case of a fire: your electric guitar, your leather jacket, your smart phone, your drugs… who has time, or the free hands, to lower the ladder?

The East Villager's motto is: Be Prepared!
