We interrupt your regularly scheduled Curbed coverage to bring you this message from 1988: the stroller-unfriendly hours at Tompkins Square Park took an ugly turn over the weekend, the park's documentarian Neither More Nor Less reports, with beatings, the reported death of one "Crusty," and an accompanying police investigation. The ruckus led to the park actually closing on time on Saturday night, and reports of more violence between Avenue D youth and Tompkins Square Park punks. Meanwhile, 'Mosaic Man' Jim Power is homeless, again. Oy gevalt. [NMNL]
