Probably Should Avoid This Place…
I was scouting around Red Hook today when I noticed this old brick warehouse: While the building itself is neat, what really caught my attention were all the warning signs: So in summary: Violators Will Be Prosecuted, possibly by: And in case those dogs don’t work out: And hey, because we can’t have too many…
Strangeness Afoot in Old Trinity Cemetery
I was scouting the Old Trinity Cemetery when a guy walked up to me and asked if I had seen any chickens. OK, that sounds like the beginning to a joke. Before I delve into my odd story, let me give a quick rundown on one of the most beautiful and interesting outdoor spaces in…
The Legend of the Metrocard Bike

It’s way cool to see the shoe driving around.
Pumpity pump
haha…I wonder if this is the show that was parked outside the Marshall’s shoe store right by 8th & B’Way. The store didn’t last long, and the ‘shoe-mobile’ I think was only there for a few days. Maybe it actually had nothing to do with Marshall’s….
