Out of Control Shopping Cart

It looks like this teeny-tiny shopping cart went out of control on East 2nd Street, some days ago:

Crash!

Luckily, no one was hurt!

Another Abandoned Shopping Cart

It seems like only eleven months ago (almost to the day!) that I wrote about the abandoned shopping cart on East 4th Street, outside of El Jardin del Paraiso.

Here we are again, all these months later, and another shopping cart has been abandoned in the same location, wheelless at that!

Wheelless shopping cart.

Here is another view, that highlights the accumulated litter:

Accumulated litter.

There's no telling how this got all the way over here from the West Village, the site of the nearest (no doubt beloved!) Citarella location.

Citarella must be a child-friendly store — with no place for children to sit in the shopping cart, they must be permitted to wander the aisles!

No place for children to sit.

Now that it's in the East Village though, this sign takes on a whole different meaning!

Christmas Tree Carting

Not everyone in the East Village lugs their Christmas Tree over to Tompkins Square Park for mulching.

Here is one enterprising idea, from the East 4th Street side of El Jardin del Paraiso:

Enterprising idea.

You may remember, from such posts as Shopping Carts, By George and No Dumping, what a popular location this stretch of sidewalk is for dumping!

This cart sure is a long way from Home… Depot!

Shopping Carts, By George!

If you've walked around the East Village lately, as I have, you will probably have noticed an increase in the number of shopping carts chained up to things!

Here are some from just the past few weeks:

On East 4th Street between Avenues C and D.

Outside the former, beloved Bikes By George,
on East 4th Street between Avenues A and B.

On East 6th Street between Avenues C and D.

On East 9th Street between Avenues B and C.

The signs of homelessness are on the rise… in the East Village Today!
