The Fanciest Mouse Hole In New York City
I was walking up Wythe Ave in Williamsburg last week when something caught my eye… Wait for it… Getting closer… Almost there… And here it is: the fanciest mouse hole in New York City, featuring a Federal-style doorway complete with pilasters and a pediment! Alas, a scan of the code in the doorknocker area reveals…
And To Think That I Saw Bees On Mulberry Street
I was just going through an old hard drive when I came across some pictures of one of the odder things I think I’ve ever come across scouting… Last August, I was scouting around Little Italy when I suddenly noticed a crowd of people forming at the corner of Mulberry & Grand. On closer inspection,…
What’s Going On With This Red Mini-Van?
I was shooting some buildings around Madison Ave in the 20’s Tuesday (just before the snowpocalypse of 2010 hit) when I noticed this red minivan parked illegally. Specifically, what caught my eye was not the car itself, but rather the weird wire coming out of the rear window, running into the gas tank, coming back…
Who is the TelePrompTer?
I was walking around Morningside Heights the other day when I passed by this interesting courtyard at 521 West 111th Street. I went in to take some pictures… …and I noticed this odd sign to the the left of the front door. At first, I didn’t think much of it. But the more I considered…
The Bronx Is The Friendliest Borough In NYC
Of all the Boroughs, the one I’ve barely touched in my career as a scout is the Bronx. Sure, I’ve scouted the Zoo, and the Botanical Gardens, and Riverdale, and all the other places people typically mean when they say “Oh, I’ve been to the Bronx.” But not the real Bronx.

Did they forget to put the seat on that pair of shorts?
The name of the store is Colombia Jeans Levantapompis, which pretty much translates to Colombia Bottom Lifter Jeans. I live near Fordham Rd. in The Bronx and have been to this store. What they sell is all sorts of items to lift, tuck and flatten various parts of your body when you are less than in perfect shape. The “shorts” in the front window are not shorts, it’s a girdle to lift your tush underneath your clothing. The jeans are way over- priced in my opinion, even though I did get a pair, I stopped wearing them after a few uses because I really hate feeling like a stuffed sausage, now I’m just working out. These items are very popular among south american women but have gathered more popularity among other latina women in the past few years. Hope this helps!
Well, there is a certain segment of the population that goes for the Big Bodacious Butt – and more power to them if that’s what make people happy! I’m sure we all (unfortunately?) remember the Sir Mix-A-Lot tune…
