Visiting A Bit Of The Continental USA You Can Only Get To By Going Through Canada

As we were driving along, I found myself playing around with the GPS map, and happened to notice something unusual: if you zoom-in on the northwestern tip of Vermont… …you’ll find an insanely small bit of…
Scouting NY Has A New Website
Quick site note – After five years of having the worst organized website on the Internet, Scouting NY finally has a new design! I loved the old site, and resisted making the change for the longest time (I hate when websites I like completely change their layout). But I had to do it – I…

Serious Rule At The Yonkers Public Library
Some libraries have NO SMOKING or NO CELL PHONE signs on the front door. At the Yonkers Public Library? I’m amazed that this is such a problem as to necessitate a laminated sign. I mean, I wasn’t planning on bringing any balloons inside…But it’s sort of a downer to know I couldn’t if I suddenly…
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…

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.

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)
