In Search of Ichabod Crane
At the corner of Richmond Ave and Amsterdam Place on Staten Island… …is a decaying graveyard known as New Springville Cemetery: The deteriorating fence alone gives a pretty good indication of what awaits inside: The first section of the cemetery is in decent shape… As you make your way back, however, you soon come across…
Scouting Disney World
This photo is driving me bonkers – what intersection is this? I’ve lived near madison square park for 4 years and i have never seen this view. Where is this? If this was the intersection of 23rd and b’way where is the plethora of cars? Well, most people realized pretty quickly that my last post…
I Should Really Be Driving This Car
I’m speechless… I wish I could say that this is the new “SCOUTING NY” official website car, but it’s not. It was sent to me today by frequent reader Jack, who noticed it in Williamsburg. Who is this impostor, and how could he be so insidious as to steal my monicker for his car doors??…

I’ve stopped in quite a few hoping to find the rare gem…

Wow. What a well-planned frame.
The foreground leaves a little to be desired, but…
Seriously, though–the shape of that window is stunning.
What took you to this place?
Ha, the usual – any office in a movie has to have a fantastic view of the city 🙂
hmmm..who’s space is this?
Aw, this was such a quality info. In theory I’d like to write like that too – taking time and serious effort to bring about a very good posting… however what could I say… I procrastinate an awful lot and by no means seem to get things completed…
Judging from the view, that must be the Hunters Point neighborhood of Long Island City, Queens.
