It’s Just A Migraine
Real quick, I wanted to talk about something that’s totally off topic, but is important to me. Recently, this video of a reporter suffering aphasia, or an inability to speak correctly, went viral. CBS reporter Serene Branson was about to give a live report after the Grammy’s when she found that her words just weren’t…
Check Out The New Scouting NY Sticker!
As you probably know, I always send out a Scouting NY sticker/magnet to readers who donate to my film fund. I just ran out of last year’s version, so it’s time to unveil the new Scouting NY sticker, celebrating that unique manner in which New Yorkers can ignore pretty much anything… I know I left…
The West 59th Street Sea Creatures
Way over on West 59th Street between 10th and 11th is this great little Parks Department rec center, dwarfed on all sides by ultra-modern glass-curtain highrises. Once a bath house, the rec center now houses a public pool. What I especially love about this building are the two aquatic sculptures in the upper corners. In…
An Unholy Union
Driving through Queens today, I saw that McDonalds and Starbucks have finally done the inevitable and fused together into an all-powerful red and yellow-striped latte and hamburger-dispensing mutant hybrid: Resistance is futile! I mean, what force on Earth could possibly stop a complete McStarnolds take over?? I think we’re doomed. -SCOUT
Biking on the Bruckner (!!!)
This post will probably only amaze New Yorkers, or really, New Yorkers who drive. But anyone with a car that travels frequently in the outer boroughs pretty much depends on I-278, most of which seems to have been imported from a third world country. It’s insanely busy, always under construction, the speed limit is essentially…
An Abandoned Treasure May Soon Be Lost – The Fight to Save St. Paul’s
Over the past few months, I’ve been getting letters from readers about an abandoned school in Garden City, Long Island, called St. Paul’s, on the verge of being demolished. Last Friday, I hopped the train with my bike and camera to have a look for myself. It took less than five minutes to bike to…

Hmmmm…looks like a really weird mineral sample. The Museum of Natural History? It might even be malachite! (One of my favorite minerals. 😀 )
I have no clue, but it looks like hair on a statue. Can’t wait to learn where/what it is.
Chinatown??? some weird vegetables?? 😉
alien sexual organs? should be around the East Village then.
looks like malachite to me.
How did you get a photo of my refrigerator?
Hmmm…Looks like the MNH to me. Yes? no?
A form of coral? or anemone?
taken at the bowery…picture of a fungus on a homeless persons toe…
some zombie graveyard at midnight
Looks like an anemone… New York Aquarium?
Mayor Bloomberg’s wallet?
Looks organic but dead; American Natural History Museum?
I’d have to say the mineral collection at the American Museum of Natural History.
sea asparagus ( http://www.mistymt.com/specialty/salicornia.shtml )? So maybe a grocery store like Whole Foods or something?
I think is a florist sponge. So in a flower shop.
Looks like the end of a steel cable from a suspension bridge or elevator that has been melted. Could it be from World Trade Center?
Rubin Art Museum – Statue of buddha
my first thought was a statue, but I went to the Met. But I can’t figure out of what because the photo creeps me out! Eeps.
sorry meant to say “…but I went to the Met (not the Rubin)”
I’ll guess Takashimaya.
Definitely a type of copper or malachite. Probably in a museum because a piece like that would highly valuable. I have a small sample of the similar mineral
The Statue of Liberty’s underarm hair? (she IS French)
I live in the south, but it is copper wire. Looks like a cable that has weathered outside for sometime.
The Statue of Liberty’s underarm hair? (she IS French)
If she were American she wouldn’t have underarms hair. Or, tragically, another sort of body hair 🙁
