Abandoned Hypodermic Needles

When people think of the East Village, first they think about the shopping, then they think about the nightlife — finally, they think about drug addicts!

I was walking across East 9th Street when I saw these hypodermic needles abandoned inside a wooden tree guard:

Abandoned hypodermic needles.

It's my guess that someone left these hypodermic needles for passing drug addicts, the way people leave out clothes or food.

Even the cutest block in the East Village has its dark side!
