••• The Banksy artwork on Staple has been painted over (or at least the Plexiglas has? I’d go look but I’m losing interest). There’s outrage online, but anyone who paints on someone else’s wall can’t really expect to be upset, can he? Also look at how much graffiti is on that wall…. Photo courtesy @LoganLevkoff. Update: “My dog walker sent me a pic, the building owner fixed the Banksy,” tweeted @sarawinsor. “This could get old quickly.” Yep. Unless it sprouts wings and starts flying, I’m done.

••• There’s a petition opposing the move of the criminal summons court from 346 Broadway to the corner of W. Broadway and Thomas, across from the Odeon. They’re gunning for 5,000 signatures by Tuesday.

••• “Walked past Woolworth Building this afternoon and it looks like they are working on a the commercial space, ground floor of the north east side of Broadway (previous window ad touting a swimming pool),” emailed M. yesterday, so I hustled over. A sign in the window says “T-Mobile 233 Broadway”—we learned a while ago that workers will say they’re working on a cellphone store to get nosy folks like me off their back, but seeing as how this is Broadway we’re talking about, I’m inclined to believe it.

••• Lookyloo alert! “Join the Bronx Museum for a Fall Benefit featuring a walking tour of private, rarely-seen art collections at five stunning homes.

••• The contest for Aaron Neville tickets has gotten a terrific response, but not so much so that entering isn’t worth the trouble.
