Newsroom Scandal!! Did NY1 Rip Off Super Mario Bros. 3?
OK, this has been driving me nuts for years. Every time the NY1 weather report comes on, there’s a jingle in the background. And I SWEAR I know it from somewhere: Then I was playing Super Mario Bros. 3 the other day – and I realized why I was having such severe deja vu: I…
Scouting the…US Virgin Islands?
Last December, I wrote about a subway train American Airlines had decked out in beautiful travel photography. The post was pretty popular (apparently finding its way onto some pilots private message board that drove in TONS of traffic – wish I had a log-in so I knew what they were saying!), and a short time…
A Snowstorm In Brooklyn
So New York’s latest snowstorm (that’s five so far!) is in full force. I ran out a few minutes ago to take some pictures for those who aren’t lucky enough to be here to enjoy it. 🙂 In a string of bad snow storms, I’d say this one’s topping ’em all…and does this weather forecast…
Into The Cabins: Scouting An Abandoned Children’s Camp – Part 2
This is part 2 of our look at Camp Wishe, a children’s sleepaway camp that has been abandoned for more than 15 years. Click here for part 1! Camp Wishe is located on what used to be old Route 6. When the Wishe family purchased the property in the 1940’s, it consisted of a run…
LEGOizing NY
Almost a year ago, I wrote a post about my favorite building in midtown, this chopped-in-half brownstone at 19 W 46th Street. The other day, I got a note that a Lego fan had built a Lego version of the building based on my pictures! Great job! Most of the time, a building this quirky…

Pretty cool. Read about the design a couple years ago.

Oh are they working again? Seems like every time I walk past them they’re just open and they have pickup trucks doing access control instead of the gates. After Sandy they had usual portable gates on top of these.
Cool to see it working! I was by there the other week and they were only using the pickup trucks.
Also I believe the street stones are, technically speaking, setts and not cobblestones.
I worked on the NYSE from 1998-2001, it has become nothing but a television studio.
Ha, weirdly, I’ve never been inside.
Its beautiful, it will make a nice museum someday.
Not cool. Barricades to protect these bastards? At taxpayer expense? Are you out of your frickin minds?
@native nyer, even if you think the Wall Street crowd don’t need protection, what about everyone else? A native nyer would know that every building also has doormen, janitorial staff, administrative staff, families visiting offices, tourists, and as Danny and Chris mentioned, the television staff. I suppose those people don’t deserve to be protected either?
My favorites are the glittery sidewalks the city poured in the 1970s; ground glass was mixed with the concrete, so when you walk on them at night they pick up surrounding light and sparkle like some magic fairy path. There are still some on 6th Avenue in the 40s and 50s, wish they were all over the place.
@native nyer,
like Chris said above your comment, most of the ppl in there now are just posing for cnbc and the likes. most of the trades are done by computers anyway.
Pretty cool. @Gojira – I love the glittery sidewalks too. I never knew why it was only a few blocks.
Yea, there are a few of those downtown. But most of the time they use trucks.
I love that dog on the left, shortly after the start. He gives a little tail wag – I think he knew he was on camera! Or he liked the moving sidewalk, too.
You’ve got some kind of virus/inserting thing going on there.
When looking at this article on the home page it tries to show – http://thegoodonedogtraining.com/images/lan.php – which my virus scanner blocks.
Check your source code.. I think it’s an include file thing.
p.s. great site!

Yes, that glassphalt is gorgeous.
