Slushapocalypse 2010 – East Village

Friday, February 12th, 2010


I wrapped my camera in plastic wrap and took it out into the wet blowing snow.

Though I purposely let the drops accumulate on the plastic in front of the lens, for the cool light effects, next time I’ll wipe it off more often. The camera remained dry under the Glad food wrap, which had the additional benefit of acting as a wind screen for the microphone.

Very twisted and fairly old survivor of life on the streets in the East Village. Just north of Houston Street on Avenue A.

Ageloff Bones
They appear to be doing serious structural work on the Ageloff Towers on Avenue A.
It is interesting to see the steel girders beneath the brick.
What must it be like living in those corner rooms while this is going on.

Lower your carbon footprint. Why pay to fly to New York City just to take a bumpy bus ride in the East Village, when you can see it on the GammaBlog for free.

This is early Saturday morning, before many of the stores are open. You can see the graffiti tags and murals, normally hidden when the burglar gates are raised.
