Shrouded In A Shroud

This building, on the corner of First Avenue and East 2nd Street, is shrouded in a shroud:

A shroud.

No one knows why, but I'm sure it's for a good reason.

This building is bounded on East 2nd Street by this and on First Avenue by this — it probably has something to do with that!

Farewell, View

A couple of weeks ago, I was walking across East 7th Street, when I saw this truck in the empty lot at the corner of Second Avenue, with much scaffolding aside the building there:

Much scaffolding.

Maybe they're going to fix the building façade?

Last night, I passed by again, and saw that progress had been made:

A shroud.

The pirate, who lives on the second floor, is losing his view!

Soon enough, a new building will be constructed here, and we will all lose our view, of the pirate flag!

Aarrgghhh!

Christodora Shroud

The Christodora House, on the corner of Avenue B and East 8th Street, is probably the most beloved apartment building in the East Village.

And why not? Michigan-born musician Iggy Pop once lived here!

I was walking through Tompkins Square Park this past Thursday evening, when I saw that the Christodora House was being enshrouded:

Enshrouded.

It's nice to see when things are being taken care of — preserving the past, for future generations to admire!
