Another Miracle

It's no secret: the East Village is the place of miracles!

Here is evidence of a miracle, outside the Secret Garden on East 4th Street:

Evidence.

It's not as impressive as getting up out of a wheelchair and walking, but to the cripple hobbling along on these crutches, it's just as real!

Disco Wind Chime

East Villagers are not really known for their disco dancing — they're more the pogo'ing type!

So this disco wind chime thing seems out of place at the Secret Garden community garden, on East 4th Street and Avenue C:

Out of place.

Here's a close-up:

I'm not even sure it's a wind chime — it's more of a decoration than a chime.

Still…

WWSLD?

What would Spike Lee do if he lived in the East Village, had a dog, and it pooped on the sidewalk in front of Secret Garden on East 4th Street at Avenue C?

Secret Garden.

He would pick up his dog's poo!

Do the right thing.

In this case, that means taking a re-purposed plastic bag out of the re-purposed plastic milk carton and using it to pick up the poo!

Here is a close-up of the inside of the milk carton:

Close-up.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if some bird doesn't build a nest in that bottle — East Villagers will get a nasty peck on the hand for their efforts!

Photographing & Filmmaking

Yesterday was such a nice day in the East Village that it seems every photographer and filmmaker was out photographing and film-making!

This group of filmmakers was making a film on East 4th Street, in front of the Secret Garden at Avenue C:

Further up Avenue C, at East 6th Street, this group of photographers and models was photographing and modelling clothes:

Here they are from a different angle:

A different angle.

An edgy background for edgy clothes!

East Villagers love to take advantage of unseasonably-warm weather to squeeze out the last drop of creative juice, before hibernating all Winter!
