Jolly Roger Missing

Ever since about this time last year, East Villagers have been accustomed to seeing two things together: the Jolly Roger flag that flew outside the middle window of this building on Second Avenue, and a blue plastic tarp covering the area beneath the windows.

So it came as a great surprise recently when both went missing, and a blue lantern mysteriously appeared in their place:

Both missing.

Naturally, the U.S.A. flag is still there — East Villagers are very patriotic! Even pirates skedaddling in the middle of the night doesn't change that!

Pirate Wind Chimes

It seems that every time I pass the pirate's cove on Second Avenue and East 7th Street, there's a new addition to the arrangement.

This past Wednesday, it was wind chimes:




It's reasonable to expect the wind chimes to chime in the wind, when watching them on video, but there was no wind!

Yo ho ho — East Villagers love wind chimes!

Flag Separation

This was the weekend of updates!  It's the Weekend Update!

I was walking past 125 Second Avenue yesterday, when I saw that the pirate flag and U.S. flag outside the windows there are now separated:

Separated flags.

In my most recent picture of these flags, they were together — now they're apart. I understand that it's bad etiquette to allow any other flag to touch a pirate flag!

Following the pirate code… in the East Village Today! Argh!

Nationalist Pirates

Somewhere between 17 and 19 days ago, I posted a picture of a large U.S.A. flag hanging in the window of 125 Second Avenue, the building beside those that were destroyed in the fire.

Not to be outdone, the pirate has now started flying his own U.S.A. flag:

U.S.A. flag between Jolly Roger and Ace of Spades.

Oh yes, the ace of spades is new too… in the East Village Today!

Pirate Window Update

There's been another major change at the Second Avenue Pirate Window: colored seltzer bottles on the window sill:

Colored seltzer bottles.

It would seem that the pirate residing there is some kind of vaudevillian joker!

It's interesting to think that behind every building is another building housing someone just waiting for their big chance to shine… in the East Village Today!

Pirate Spotted

By now, many of you have seen the picture, posted here first(!), of the Jolly Roger flying outside 125 Second Avenue, the building that was damaged, but is still standing, after the fire that occurred here.

Well, I was walking up Second Avenue yesterday, when I spotted the pirate behind the flag. Literally!

Pirate behind flag.

If it's anarchist squatters who've taken up residence there, it's anarchist squatters in neckties!

East Villagers always keep you guessing!

The Jolly Roger on Second Avenue

Avast! I was walking up Second Avenue yesterday, when I came upon the site of the recent fire, and saw this:

The Jolly Roger.

Aye, me hearties, pirates have indeed taken over 125 Second Avenue — quite likely anarchist, squatter pirates!

Argh!
