New Klieg Lights

Last Thursday, as I rode my Citibike around the East Village, I saw this semi truck loaded up with klieg lights, parked outside the Jacob Riis Houses on Avenue D:

Klieg lights.

Here is a close-up:

They don't look like the standard NYPD klieg lights.

Something's afoot!

Convoy

I was riding my Citibike up Avenue C recently, when I noticed this convoy of semi trucks parked just above East 10th Street:

Parked convoy.

I suspect they were waiting to be called to the construction site over on Avenue D.

When I got off my bike to take this picture, a livery cab driver said to me: "You're wasting your time".

Wasting my time? He probably thought I was going to complain about them blocking the bike lane, but semi trucks are cool, and East Village Today is not a complaint blog!

Small Load

You see a lot of whacky things when walking around the East Village.

Just this past week, I saw this semi truck outside the beloved Keepers Self Storage on East 10th Street, hauling… a single computer monitor!

A single computer monitor.

It beats bobtailing it!
