Schumer: "Real Momentum" For Health Care Reform Now
Reader ianqui took this photograph of a cardboard box getting into the Halloween spirit early - by trying to be the Astor Place cube! Granted, it's not painted black, but white is so much more fetching to passers-by who want to scrawl various messages. We like to think of this box as Alamo-ette.
In 2005, the Astor Place cube, also known as The Alamo, was removed for repairs (and returned eight months later). It was also attacked with chalk last year (and powercleaned) and re-created at Burning Man this year.

Don't forget the Rubik's Cube
That would be The Alamo (1967 artist Tony Rosenthal), also known as the Astors place cube. You have it backwards.
I like the white one a lot better than the black one. It has a lot of neat grafitti shit on it and relates to the community in a clearer fashion.
As an artist might bullshit, "It has the multi layering of the transformation of community as it responds to the cultural realigning with the populace and reflects the urbanity so often denied by the ever changing."
yeah, snoopy, "EAT FUCK DIE" is a great addition to the community.
Nick,
That phrase about sums up the reality of life. What's your next observation?
I guess a large steel cube painted black sitting on its point gives you strength and insight about the great cosmos to carry on day to day.
can you push the white one around? because that's the best part.
The "EAT FUCK DIE" comment is pretty insightful
