Gothamist: Goodbye Alphabet City Toy Tower The Toy Tower, the disturbing and impressive structure that’s grown up over Ave B and 6th Street the last twenty years, is being dismantled this week following the death of its creator, Eddie Boros, and fears the tower is unsafe, which it most definitely has to be. I’ve always found it creepy but one of the things that made the East Village what it was — I’m surprised NY’s Museum of Folk Art or the funkier American Visionary Art Museum (worth a trip down to Baltimore to see, if you’ve never been) isn’t stepping in to acquire the crazy thing. Years from now they might want to have it around, but at least they’ll be able to check out Gothamist’s photo gallery. (Photos by J. Schumacher)
