Dancing in the streets

REM’s latest music video is shot in our lovely neighborhood at Rivington Street and Redchurch Street. Aaron Johnson shows us his quirky dance-moves, which in a way resembles our own moves after a Friday pint at the Owl & Pussycat (!).

Michael Jackson is back!

So if you go by The Premises in East London, you might be able to get a glimpse of him :)

We love the MJ sculpture, which is a life-sized depiction of the moment in Berlin in 2002, when he dangled his baby out of the window (!). It’s created by Swedish-born sculptor Maria von Köhler and is titled “Madonna and Child”. You can see it at 209 Hackney Rd until May 1st 2011.

>The canal along victoria park…

…and up to Bow and i am sure beyond really, really needs some TLC. The water is incredibly dirty and filled with rubbish… seriously needs dredging. There has been no sign of the olympic investment making any real difference along what should be fantastic local attraction for restaurants and walking, etc. Amazed the council has not done anything about it… But trust the street artists like sweetoof, etc and now worldwaron latest installation placed along the canal to offer some eye candy…
