No ubiquitous purple flag for the East Village's very own evil empire, NYU, here on the Bowery, just no loitering signs. When I asked for community outreach resource centers I inquired about why the imperial purple flag does not proudly fly and the dude they lease this building from they told me said "no flag" but apparently he doesn't mind the no loitering signs!!!!!
So many homeless shelters around -- how inconvenient for the luxury hotels and college kids mega and not mega but darn large student housing --- ho hum NYU mega dormed the East Village to death....
