at 0:55 in the video there are three light pole banners you can see surrounding the chase bank. a blue one, a brown and orange striped one, and a green one. those banners will help you date the video.
i didn't see the banners on the titan advertising flickr stream, and nobody really keeps a database of this anyway.
....you may also notice at the end of the video the hot dog cart, and no scaffolding in place yet at 51 astor place.
The fight happened on June 24th after one of the guys stole a painting from a street vendor. Ryan paid the street vendor $20 to make up for it. Here's a follow up from Huffington post:
Most news outlets said that the skirmish occurred this past weekend... (The video was uploaded on Saturday.)
Several EV Grieve readers pointed out the following: The fight couldn't have happened this past weekend. Where are the Flaming Cactus on the light poles?
Ah, true!

Here's a photo that EV Grieve reader Stephen Popkin sent us yesterday... the light pole in question is the background... Look, zip ties!

Same corner, but a different angle on Aug. 10 ...
The description by Queen of Pinups on YouTube doesn't mention when the fight happened. Anyway, we're not trying to dispel Mr. Gosling's Dreamy McHunkster image here... just curious when this peacemaking occurred. Of course, there are some people who doubt that this is even Gosling... but that can be fodder for another post...

The fight was on June 24th and happened because the guy stole a painting from a street vendor. Ryan paid the guy $20 bucks apparently.

Kurt: The point is: WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK about yet another talentless non-entity "celebrity" in the news?

I don't know who Ryan Gosling is and I probably wouldn't care if I did.
