Paint It White

There's a song by the Rolling Stones that's very popular in the East Village, called Paint It White:

I see a red door and I want it painted white
No colors any more, I want them to turn white

East Villagers love to paint things white!

The beloved Best Hou ekeeping appliance store on Avenue A is painting their riot gates white:

Paint it white.

It's probably primer — I'm sure some wonderful new mural will be painted over it, to replace what was there before:

Google view of wonderful old mural.

Best Hou ekeeping is a source of many jokes. Here are a few of them:

Best Hou ekeeping's sign is so old!
(How old is it?!)
It's so old, the phone number doesn't have an area code in it!

Best Hou ekeeping's sign is so old!
(How old is it?!)
It's so old, the letter S fell out of the name!

Best Hou ekeeping's mural is so old!
(How old is it?!)
It's so old, the paint has faded!

All in good fun… in the East Village Today!
