There are no taxis in Tompkins Square Park!
What a scrawny dog though, right?

The Scrawny Dog
I was just about to take a picture of a very scrawny dog in Tompkins Square Park, when suddenly a man started hailing a taxi!
There are no taxis in Tompkins Square Park!

Dirt Field, Revisited
You may remember this Tompkins Square Park dirt-field from such posts as (No) Children Play Here:
The DIY sign that hung on this fence is now gone.
At the top of the picture, you can see a dog-owner and her dog.
Here is a closer view:
The only thing missing, that would make this less of a children's play area, is rubble!

East Village Bikes, by George
Here's another one for the "Don't blink or you'll miss it" file!
I was walking down Avenue C — oh, back on April 12 — when I saw that the beloved Recycle-A-Bicycle was gone!
I checked out the sign in the window (with the groovy leopard-skin tape!):
They weren't kidding when they said it was coming soon. I passed by there again this past Sunday, and the new, beloved East Village Bikes was open, and they have a dog!
There's a sign in window that says they accept donations:
You could give them some money, I suppose, but me: I'm going to give them dog treats!

2016 Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade
Yesterday was the 26th Annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade — the most popular event on the East Village social calendar!
You may remember from here, and here, and here, and here, and here, and here, that East Village Today has attended this event since its inception — since East Village Today's inception, that is!
Sadly, I must report that I didn't go this year. The weather forecast was for rain, so I stayed inside and watched Archer on Netflix. I have to tell you, that is a funny show!
Anyway, here is a picture of a taco dog I found on the internet, maybe even from this year:
East Villagers love tacos!

fresco Update
East Villagers continue to abhor a blank wall, as seen yesterday evening, beside the beloved Dallas BBQ on Second Avenue and St. Mark's Place:
Nothing like some big ol' glam shoes to brighten the neighborhood — even Fido approves!

The Dog That Got Away
I was walking across East 7th Street this past Saturday, approaching Avenue A, when a medium-sized, black-and-white dog ran past me and into the street, at this intersection:
A van was turning right, onto Avenue A, and almost hit the dog, but it skittered sideways and avoided being hit. It then continued across the street, and ran down the sidewalk along Avenue A.
I suspected that it was returning home, the way it knew.
Let's hope so, or we'll be seeing some new Lost Dog signs soon!

Punk Jamboree
What constitutes Punk? I have a friend who said that punk was already finished by the time the word Punk was coined to describe it!
Today, since the punkers are so much older, it mostly means kid-friendly performances with just a hint of posturing! If "punk" means "a good time for young and old alike", this show — in Tompkins Square Park this past Sunday — was the punkiest!
It was a time for parents to come support their kids' musical endeavors:
…for kids to support their parents' musical endeavors:
…and for old anarchists and the police to catch up!
Unfortunately, I could not stay for the entire show, which leads me to my one suggestion:
Dear organizing committee: please provide chairs for future performances. It's not easy to stand for four hours, and the benches in the shade fill up too quickly!
Oh yes, and change the name. I am willing to bet a lot of people didn't attend just because of the name. Puke Island? How about: Punk Jamboree!
I leave you with what is probably the highlight of the afternoon — enjoy!

The Culprit
All signs point to this dog:
Oh yes, and: I was walking down St. Mark's Place yesterday, when I saw this sign covered in arrows… in the East Village Today!

School For The Dogs
I was walking across East 2nd Street this past Saturday, when I passed by this sign, outside the beloved School For The Dogs:
I went to a zoo once, and the only animal they had was a dog. It was a Shih Tzu.
School For The Dogs has classes catering to every need, from Puppy Kindergarten, to Prep School, even Skater Haters and Sidewalk Psychos! (Can you really train your dog to avoid psychos in the East Village?!)
If you become a member, here's an offer exclusively for you: Enter the password, and you can take one of these colorful poop bags!
Nothing says East Village like brightly-wrapped dog poop!

Photographers
The Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade isn't just fun for the dogs, it isn't just fun for the dog owners, it's fun for photographers too!
This is the one day of the year that everyone is a photographer, as you will see here:
East Villagers are already counting the days until next year's dog parade — it's 365!
East Villagers love the Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade!

Frustration
As regular readers of this blog know, I don't like to complain, but I will say that sometimes it's frustrating being an East Village photographer!
This is just a small sampling of what I mean:
But it's for a worthy cause, so I persevere!
