 Not So Fast, Neighbors Say to One-Way Avenue B, The Villager, December 14, 2005
Concerns over Avenue B becoming more heavily used by car traffic if it is one-way are not founded, the plan's backers say, because since 9/11 the streets around the E. 14th St. Con Edison power plant, including the entrance and exit to the F.D.R. Drive at E. 14th St., have been closed.
A woman from Transportation Alternatives, the pro-pedestrian and -bicycling organization, said, "Avenue B is this small community's main street." She noted that a characteristic of a main street is that it has traffic in two directions and is very easy to cross.

'Avenue B' is not only a brave album by Iggy Pop, not only a more than pleasant surprise but a diamond album at that.

"Avenue B" is reflective and emotional, and seems to take more time developing these ideas than is typical of any other Iggy record.

 Iggy Pop   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Avenue B opens with a monologue in which our recently divorced, 50-year-old anti-hero sits alone in his study(!), surrounded by books instead of a band, contemplating his own mortality in simple, straightforward prose.
This is easily the quietest, gentlest, most reflective album the Godfather of Punk's ever made -- more than half the tunes are strum-and-sing acoustic numbers, and there are two other dramatic readings like the opener.
Pop punctuates Avenue B with a couple of cranked-up workouts, including a back-to-the-garage cover of "Shakin' All Over." And "Corruption," with its thick, acid-metal guitars and pounding beat, gives Iggy a chance to prove that though he may not be the street-walking cheetah he once was, his heart's still full of napalm.
