Christmas Treecycling Comes Early

East Villagers all know the area in Tompkins Square Park where Christmas trees are taken to be mulched. It's almost as festive a ritual as buying the tree — helping it to rejoin the circle of life!

Here is a picture from this past January:

This year, however, the Parks Department has erected the fence early — fine months early, to be precise! This picture is from last week:

Last week, the Terrahawk Mobile Utility Surveillance Tower was parked here. It's gone now, but they left the fence.

It's never too soon to treecycle… in the East Village Today!

Movie in the Park

One of the great things about the East Village is that during the Summer, there are movies in Tompkins Square Park!

Last night was "Big Night", everyone's favorite movie about food!

This showing was special, for two reasons: 1) the presence of the Terrahawk Mobile Utility Surveillance Tower, brought in to rid the park of the enemy; and 2) … Well, take a look for yourself:


Thank you. Thank you. You're too kind!

Enemy in the Park

Well, either you're closing your eyes
To a situation you do now wish to acknowledge
Or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster indicated
By the presence of an enemy in Tompkins Square Park!


Good thing there's a Terrahawk Mobile Utility Surveillance Tower in the park now, to protect us from the enemy:

East Villagers love enemy protection-from!
