Yesterday, we told you about the sensational fight at a fancy Lower East Side vintage store between owner Richard Ives and a group of shoplifters that ended with pretty much everyone bloodied up after being thrown through the store's glass window. Today, Ives is out of the hospital and recovering from the attack, which left him with 70 stitches all over his body!

Lower East Side Store Owner Thrown Through His Own Window By Shoplifters
Things got messy when a group of shoppers came into the Pilgrim Vintage Clothing Store on Orchard Street last night, tried to shoplift a $2,500 purse, and promptly threw the owner of the store through his own glass window when he tried to intervene.
Documenting the South Bronx, 1982-1984
The last time we looked at the South Bronx it was 1979 through 1987, and now photographer Ray Mortenson focuses in on 1982 through 1984 in his new exhibit titled "Broken Glass: Photographs of the South Bronx." Opening November 14th (and running through March 9th) at the Museum of the City of New York, Mortenson's exhibit of 50 black & white prints will take a look at "the abandoned, burnt out, and razed structures of entire city blocks in the South Bronx in the aftermath of the 1970s, during which this neighborhood experienced dramatic decline." (Did you know about 12,000 fires occurred annually in the neighborhood throughout the decade?)
