Missing Cat Signs

I was walking down Second Avenue recently, when I came upon this assemblage of barrels outside the formerly-beloved Verizon Wireless store:

Assemblage of barrels.

What could be stored in them, I wondered? Toxic chemicals? Radioactive waste? Sand?

Since East Village Today is renown for pictures of the insides of stores that were once beloved but are now closed, I went to get an inside picture.

But what's this?!

Missing Cat sign.

The Missing Cat sign — taped up from the inside!

Making my way down Second Avenue, I remembered a request from a commenter, that I post another picture of the formerly-beloved DF Mavens. Since I was so close, I decided to honor that request.

But what's this?!

Two Missing Cat signs.

Not one, but two Missing Cat signs!

East Villagers sure hope this cat is found!

DF Mavens Used to Be Here

I was walking up Second Avenue, oh… some time ago, when I noticed something I hadn't noticed before: the beloved DF Mavens was closed:

DF Mavens closed.

East Villagers love when stores leave behind their signs — without them, it's nearly impossible to remember what was there before!

Skateboarder

Even though I'm shooting videos now, I still have the still photographer's eye. I'm not drawn to motion, but to color (and bad kerning!).

So it was not the movement of this skateboarder, nor the fact that he was carrying something, that caught my eye, but the fact that what he was carrying was the same color as his pants, shirt, and shoes!

This is outside the beloved DF Mavens, on Second Avenue at St. Mark's Place:


Ramming speed!
