Bowery Boogie | A Lower East Side Chronicle

Watching garbage trucks negotiate the narrowest of city streets is always quite remarkable.  Of course, much to the dismay of trapped motorists.  That’s when the horns start sounding.  This particular truck eventually made it through.

Tight squeeze spotted on Orchard Street, just above Stanton.

This truck has a poignant message scrawled across its body. It reads: “It’s the moment you realize nobody has your back…that’s when you give up!

Spotted in the northbound intersection of Bowery and East Houston.

Rogue sign sightings around the neighborhood continue.  This faux “fallout shelter” sign by TrustoCorp is located at the corner of Second Avenue and Third Street.

Be sure to drop us a line if you spot one!

Yes, broke is the new black.  At least according to this non-commissioned street sign which recently surfaced at the corner of Orchard and East Houston.  The metal sign is casually affixed below the neon crosswalk warning, and blends in quite nicely.  Truly a “what’s wrong with this picture” moment.
