First Pink, Then Gone

Back in August, I noticed that the beloved Cloak & Dagger, on East 9th Street, had painted the poles of the scaffolding outside their store:

Painted poles.

Pink, of course!

Last night, I was walking past their again, and I saw someone had undone all their hard work!

Behold:

Scaffolding gone.

The scaffolding is gone!

I wonder if the scaffolding owners will leave the poles pink?

More Pink Than Punk

Isn't that a great title? I borrowed it!

If you're wondering what it relates to, behold, at the corner of Second Avenue and East 9th Street:

Pink.

Springtime in the East Village — oh yeah!

Looking Good in Summer Pink

Recently, I reported on the disappearance of the inspirational Jodo Bee (it was the second one I saw, but the one that inspired me to write about the first one I saw)!

This led to a comment on Instagram by none other than JodoNYC herself:

I know!! All the bees are dying!!! Firecracker Sad-Face
Bee Firecracker Bee Sad-Face Firecracker Sad-Face

Well, I am happy to report that reports of their death are greatly exaggerated!

I was walking down East 3rd Street recently, when I passed by the beloved Corlears. The color of the message scribbled on their table caught my eye:

Pink message.

Not an unusual color for the East Village, but when I turned to keep walking…

A Jodo Bee… in the same color.

It was a Jodo Bee, in the same color as the scribbled message!

Coincidence? Who can say?
