Remember the burning-man type structure that mystically appeared in 10 Jay’s backyard? A few days ago it disappeared without warning. Where did it go?

To 23rd St at the FDR.

There’s a whole bunch of them. Does anyone know whats going on here?

Not pictured in this photo: a circle of tires about 50 feet from this wooden structure. I think that is where The Man will burn.

A not insubstantial amount! (Scroll down to see its position two days ago.) Could it be that the shanty was created by… nature?

Renda would like you to know that she is calling this the (web)log.

Check out this enormous log that the river deposited on our shores. Nature is amazing.

Also note the decaying shanty (hence the name of this new column). A cat lives there.
