Knocked-Over Trash Can

I was walking up Avenue C recently, when I saw this knocked-over trash can at the corner of East 6th Street:

Knocked-over trash can.

It was probably some anarchist…

Good thing he didn't knock over the El Especialito newspaper box — that would have been a real mess!

Smiley Faces

Back in the middle of December, I posted pictures of an old meme, updated for the 21st century!

Today, when I was walking up Avenue B, I saw not only more of these memes graffitied onto lampposts and newspaper boxes, but the modification as well:

Here's to a smiley 2016… in the East Village Today!

The Party's Just Beginning

Back in early November, I wrote about how East Villagers like to reminisce about the bad old days.

Today, while walking up Avenue B, I passed by another El Especialito paper box graffitied with the same meme, this time updated for the 21st century:

Updated for the 21st century.

In case you can't see the modification, here's a close-up:

East Villagers love smiley faces!
