Controversy

You would not expect a post from East Village Today to generate controversy, yet controversy has indeed been generated!

It started when I tweeted the link to my article Abandoned Tires — Update.

Look what I saw this morning, on Avenue A and East 5th Street (this will only make sense if you read the tweets):

Motorcycle parking place.

It's a motorcycle parking place!

Oh, and a Pabst Blue Ribbon delivery truck.

Heineken? Pabst Blue Ribbon!

Moped Tires — Update

Do you remember the story about the abandoned tires on East 4th Street, back in January? Here's a link, if you need to refresh your memory.

Well, here we are a few short weeks later, and the number of abandoned tires has doubled:

Double the tires.

In case you think I'm making this up, that I moved the tires myself, just to create controversy, here is another picture showing all the tires:

All the tires.

At this pace, it won't be long before this moped is completely buried in tires!

Moped Tires?

If you change the tires on your car yourself, there's always the problem of what to do with the tires you remove, right?!

Not in the East Village!

Behold:

Abandoned tires.

You just leave them on the street!

If that moped owner is handy, I bet he could convert those tires into moped tires.

You know… maybe.

Abandoned Tire

It's not every day you see an abandoned car tire, like this one on East 6th Street:

On East 6th Street.

I thought it might have been discarded because it was flat, but then I remembered: East Villagers don't know how to change a tire!

By now, this tire has been snatched up and put into some kind of multimedia sculpture.

Abandoned Tires

Long ago, I wrote that the East Village is a popular place to dispose of tires.

Here are some abandoned tires that I discovered on East 4th Street:

These must be collectibles, because someone is saving them:

Saving the tires.

One man's trash is another man's treasure!
