Famous Among East Villagers

Sometimes people ask me, they say: "Hey East Village Today, do East Villagers drink those crafty beers I hear so much about"?

No way, José, I say — those beers are full of calories and will make you fat!

Just this morning, I passed by the beloved Niagara, on Avenue A, as they were taking in a shipment of Bud Light:

Bud Light.

It's famous among East Villagers!

All Is Well

Outside the beloved Niagara bar on the corner of Avenue B and East 7th Street, Joe Strummer looks onto an East Villager, fashionably dressed in all-black.

Fashionably dressed.

Joe Strummer would approve… in the East Village Today!

Sleep-Overers Graffiti Joe Strummer Mural

East Villagers love street art — they also love graffiti! So what's better than a mural with graffiti on it?!

This is the beloved Joe Strummer mural on the wall of the beloved Niagara, on Avenue A and East 7th Street, graffiti'd Sunday night, August 9:

Beloved Joe Strummer mural, with graffiti.

Here is a close-up of the graffiti:

My psychic-detective abilities tell me that a malcontented sleep-overer — and anarchist! — scrawled this. My psychic-detective abilities also tell me that this was not the result of being refused service!

Not good enough for A-in-a-circle… in the East Village Today!

Third Time's A Charm

– UPDATED 5/5 –

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a picture of the mural on the side of the Niagara bar, on East 7th Street at Avenue A, that had been graffitied  on.

This past week, the mural was painted again — of the three, this is the first one that actually looks like Joe Strummer!

Introducing: Joe Strummer.

If this one doesn't last, I think Joe Strummer should be abandoned. It could only mean that he has no connection to the people of the East Village today.

I suggest replacing him with Mumford & Sons! Their new album has a song called "Tompkins Square Park"! It's a cool song.

Mumford & Sons are the new East Villagers!
