Citibike Station Missing

East Villagers were in for a rude awakening when they woke up November 1 to find that not only were their clocks moved back one hour, but the Citibike station, lovingly known as Bike Station 5626.07, at the corner of Avenue A and East 7th Street, outside the beloved Yuca Bar, was missing:

Citibike station 5626.07, missing.

This story might have ended sadly-enough there, but yesterday, I, while biking from the beloved Porto Rico Importing Company to the beloved Key Food, forgot that this station was missing, and had to park at another station!

Gloom, despair, and agony… in the East Village Today!

Cold East Village Saturday

Yesterday was so cold! All day long, I looked out the window and pondered going outside and taking pictures of the East Village in the cold, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Instead, I took a nap!

Finally, once it stopped snowing, and I realized I was out of coffee, I got dressed and took a Citibike over to Porto Rico Importing Company, on St. Mark's Place, to buy some coffee for the morning, and subsequent mornings.

The pictures that follow (even though you'll see them in reverse chronological order) are from last night's outing.

Enjoy!
