Neither more nor less

This concrete and tile creation by "Mosaic Man " which we posted of last July (The Mosaic "Chair" at the Bus Stop) and which began as a planter full of plants and was morphed into a chair by the intervention of an errant automobile seems again to be changing . Bits and pieces are everyday dissappearing as vandals pound and chip at it and take away what little bit of it is left .... there at the bus stop at St Marks Place and avenue A . And as for our little hunched friend stuck to this concrete chair.... how long will he remain and where will he go ?

With the Christadora looming over the Tompkins Square Park dog run in the background I took this picture of "Mosaic Man" and officer Fiore on the night of his last foot patrol in TSP. Officer Fiore will be moved to some other duty because as of now the 9th precinct believes Tompkins Square Park to be tame enough so as to no longer need a routine daily foot patrol . Whether or not this is true it is sad to see officer Fiore leave the park.
