Scouting The Occult in Brooklyn
On two different movies I’ve scouted for recently, I was asked to find a genuine “occult store.” Of course, by occult, they actually mean cliched movie magic shop ala the curio shop in Gremlins. Sadly, the reality is that such shops SIMPLY DO NOT EXIST. Literally, there is not a single store in New York…
Being Watched
I was recently up scouting the College of Mount St. Vincent, which has a gorgeous campus overlooking the Hudson River. Mount St. Vincent often appears during daylight hours as an archetypal college in movies and TV shows (the movie Doubt in particular). But personally, I love visiting at night. Seriously – how can you beat…
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…
A Very Strange Lawn Zoo on Staten Island
When you first see it, 724 Todt Hill Road seems like pretty much every other house in the Dongan Hills area of Staten Island. And then you see the dinosaur:
A Walking Blood Cell in LIC
Nothing is more surreal than crossing the street in Long Island City yesterday beside what I can only guess is a giant, glasses-wearing red blood cell, and overhearing him talking to the guy next to him about how hard it is to find an affordable 2-bedroom in the city. They went into a Mexican restaurant,…
Pool Rules Signs Leave Nothing To The Imagination
I’ve been scouting swimming pools at country clubs in the New York area recently, and I’m pretty amazed at how graphic the Pool Rules signs can be. Like this one, spotted at a country club with a $30K initiation fee and $30k/year membership dues: “Discharge of fecal matter” – are you kidding me?? I know…

Don’t know if that’s David Crow (kinda looks like him), if not, it’s a direct riff on Crow’s “Red Stiletto” which was a fixture in the Houston Art Car Parade for a few years until being retired to the museum.

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….
Like Ed Sullivan said “It’s a really big shoe…”
Does it take “high-heel test”?
I really enjoy your Scouting reports.
