Seen & Heard: Arrests at jail protest
TEN ARRESTED AT JAIL PROTEST
10 people were arrested for civil disobedience at yesterday’s protest against the mega jail scheduled for White Street. A group led by Neighbors United Below Canal attempted to block the road Baxter Street between Canal and Bayard as the city tried to start construction. Councilmember Christopher Marte asked the contractors for their permits to do the work, and when they refused to comply, the group sat in the road and chanted, “No new jails” and “Shame shame shame.” The city plans to go forward with the work.
ANOTHER GALLERY COMES TO BROADWAY & FRANKLIN
Add another gallery to the list: Carracci Art has taken a space at 368 Broadway, suite 305, in the Finks art buildings between Franklin and White. The gallery was founded in March 2021 by Clarence Johns as an online-based gallery and curatorial project showcasing work by a selection of six contemporary artists. The first show will present work by by Mary Blakemore, Edward Cabral, Michael A. Cummings, Charlie Goering, Evan Halter, Edward Salas, and Texas.
PICK A BAGEL CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS?
I.R. wrote back about three weeks ago that Pick A Bagel had been closed by the Department of Health, and now it’s “closed for renovations.” (I tried getting in touch with them AND looking up the violations on the DOH website but nothing popped up. Might be a job for James B.) Let’s hope it’s not permanent. I am a dedicated consumer.

Update re Pick a Bagel. The site that has an overview of city data confirms they were closed by the Department of Health. The main restaurant inspection site now says “Grade Pending “, suggesting they are contesting the grade, and details the issues, including mice.
