Missing Pig

This is the strangest thing: I can't find any of the pictures I took of the Porchetta pig, the pig statue that graced the window of the formerly-beloved Porchetta, on East 7th Street!

Here is a picture of the former Porchetta, taken last week:

The former Porchetta.

…and here is the counter where the pig statue sat (to the right of the For Lease sign, above):

No more pig statue.

Maybe it's not so strange — I never could get a decent shot of that thing, between the riot gates, and people sitting next to it, and the reflection in the window…
