Frenchie’s Gym – Not Your Local Crunch
Hidden on the second floor of this building adjacent to the JMZ elevated train line in South Williamsburg is Frenchie’s Gym, a slice of authentic old school Brooklyn culture that has somehow managed to avoid the gentrification wrecking ball rapidly swinging toward it. Blink and you’ll miss it. From the ground level, the only evidence…
Local & Interstate Moving & Storage
I was scouting recently in northern Long Island and happened to drive by this old moving/storage company garage… I love the vintage sign, complete with the old telephone interchange – in this case, ORiole refering to OysteR Bay, NY.

I wish they had made it a little…

Just wanted to know if the greenpoint warehouse is available for daily rentals for fashion and alternative fashion photoshoots? I saw that this is where the eminem had filmed the video to his recent single, and was curious what are their daily rental fees for it? if someone knows please email me at luigiciorra@yahoo.com
Thank You
I have been rewatching the Sopranos series and noticed that the scene where Mikey kills the guy they hired to find someone to kill Tony takes places in front of this warehouse (Junior is sitting in the car).
