Can You Help Scout Make His First Movie?
If you’re a fan of Scouting NY, would you consider making a donation to my film fund? I’m trying to make my first movie, and if you’ve enjoyed my work on this site (to date, more than 650 articles and over 12,000 pictures!), all I can say is that I’ve been working a thousand times as hard on my film project. Literally every penny will help make it a reality.
Goal: $50,000
Raised so far: $36,348.00
Readers Who Donated: 1,728
And there’s a bonus for anyone who gives $10 or more – a special, one-of-a-kind, extremely rare and highly coveted Scouting NY sticker/magnet, celebrating the particularly unique manner in which New Yorkers can ignore just about anything!
Donate $10 or more and you receive the sticker version; donate $15 and you’ll receive the magnet version! Dimensions are 6″ x 3″. If you live outside the US, please add $5. I’ll start sending them out as soon as they come back from the printers in a few weeks.
Here’s a look at where Scouting NY readers have donated from by postal code:

Whether or not you donate, thank you always for being a loyal reader. Here’s to another six years of opening New York’s closed doors.

That’s a dirty trick. You should have passed the hat after the gym/movie theater posting. That was incredible. Regardless, love your blog and happy to support it.
Happy Birthday!
Does this mean the site has to register for Kindergarten now? I hope you put in your applications a long time ago. You know how hard it is to get a kid into a good Kindergarten in this city?
Keep doin’ what your doin’. I’m donating now. Peace ~
I’d be happy to make a donation.
Just send me the address.

We just visited chloride cemetery last week. I agree it is one of the most unique cemeteries that I have ever been to. Everyone needs to see it.
Great NYC insight site….love it… Email address for receipt of $$$ contribution by old fashion check in the mail…..I only found you by accident when I was Googlinglocation for Mmuseumm!!!!
the hike to Nuclear Lake followed by an ice cream shop!!! are you linked to my wife’s brainwaves?? I heard all weekend “don’t you know a nice lake to visit so I can put my feet in the water?” — this was a wonderful read!
..is your movie by chance “Hike to Nuclear Lake” ?..in which a small crew set out from manahttan, and the trip suddenly starts meeting a few inconveniences, then a twisted ankle, someone goes missing ..and nightfall bears down on us ..suddenly we are off the trail and cold and all these noises around us . . . I will invest.
loved the read and your writing style and your commitment and inspiration !

I have been teaching at LIU for many (many) years , and have long hoped to see the Paramount restored.Now that we have a new gym it seems more likely, but huge amounts of funding would be needed.
One thing you missed is the historic Wurlitzer Theater Organ located beneath the gym floor.
It is a world treasure and still in use from time to time.
I would appreciate a copy of each of your older photographs , as many did not appear on my screen.
I will gladly pay for them, and use them in my efforts to have the theater restored.
Please send an address as I don’t do financial transactions on the computer.
I am eager to hear from you.

Are these magnets/stickers still available if we donate?
Absolutely!
Nick I love history. I live in an area of great history. immigrants from Italy and making a living of underground coal minding. they brought there and taught there tradition that remain a part of our community today Also we have great heritage of bootlegging. And I also worked for a facility that there grave yard need some work. I too felt sad that these individuals were marked by numbers. Loved your story on the facility forgotten closed cemetery.
