West Village buildings evacuated due to gas leak

BREAKING: West Village residents and tenants in the Cobb, O'Brien, and Old Cigarette Factory buildings are being told to evacuate immediately.  A gas line was apparently struck on Main St. (likely as part of the streetscape work.)  From WV management via email:

We need all residents to evacuate O’Brien Cobb and Old Cigarette Factory Buildings immediately.  There was a gas line struck on W. Main St. – please do not evacuate toward Main St.  Get out of the area immediately.

So is this all cleared up now?

Kevin - have you seen this "36 Hours in the Research Triangle" piece in the New York Times?

It's already one of the "Top Ten" most emailed articles on the NYT website.

Makes me miss Durham - although I wish they had highlighted downtown Durham a bit more (DPAB and the Scrap Exchange are both mentioned though).

Ginny's all over it.
