If I Were Embarking On An Amazing Adventure…
…I’m pretty sure this van would be the optimal choice for transportation.
Canoe? Check. Extra gallon of gas? Check. Antlers on the hood? Check. Let’s roll.
(Seen in Williamsburg, of course).

A Golden Elevator In Prospect Park South
I always enjoy scouting apartment buildings around the Prospect Park South area. They don’t look especially interesting from the outside… …but you’d be amazed at how many have an almost regal tone to their lobbies. Sadly, most of them are pretty run down, but the details often persist, and every once in a while, you…

The Case of the Missing Church Half
Walking west on 12th Street from 3rd Ave, you probably wouldn’t give it a second glance: a stone church located midway down the block. Coming from the opposite direction, however, you might notice something decidedly wrong with it. In short, the church has no…church. While this isn’t a secret to most New Yorkers, the remnants…
Amazing Vintage Electronics Store Sign In Brooklyn
I was early for an appointment at a Brooklyn college this afternoon to shoot some science labs, so I stopped for lunch in Park Slope. A Yelp search told me that Roma’s Pizza was decent (3/5 stars in my book), and as I was parking, I noticed this appliance store… J&R TV (108 7th Ave…
The Apartment Building In the Shadow of Yankee Stadium
For the past five months, I’ve been working on a movie shooting exclusively in the Bronx, and almost every day, I’ve driven up Jerome Avenue, passing Gate 2 of Yankee Stadium on the right… …and this gorgeous art deco building on the left, located at 1005 Jerome Avenue: Built in 1931, the mammoth 8-story, six-bay-wide…
The Amazing Wizard Of Park Ave
Merry Belated Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/Holidays/Etc.! I was grappling with two enormous backpacks on my way out of the city on Tuesday when I noticed this great cast-iron (?) clock on the Schwarzenbach Building at 470 Park Avenue South btw. 31st & 32nd Street. In my pictures it looks prominent, but this is something you’d almost assuredly…

My brother once went on a criss-cross US road trip with a friend. They had a similar set-up.
They skipped the canoe, and instead strapped a full waterbed mattress to the top of the van to have water the whole way. A ‘single’ waterbed mattress can hold about 125-130 gallons… that’s a long way between refills.

Wow, love this van.
what year is it??
I hope that canoe is used and is not just there for posterity’s sake.
i see this down in red hook a lot as well. such a rad van!
Nick, A buddy of mine here in FL has an old air conditioned VW van. The air conditioning comes from the rust holes in the body. Perhaps it is needless to say that it doesn’t look this good. 🙂
OH, I love this van! Looking at it makes my heart skip a beat.
This van belongs to Billy – one of cutest dogs to pound Brooklyn pavement. I love Billy.
Billy parked his butt in the passenger seat while his owner (man’s best friend, and all that…) traversed Brooklyn streets in search of a blank canvas pleading for some color……
Their street art in Williamsburg & Red Hook was ubiquitous and always signed, “Love, Billy”
Well, Scout, to each his own. My choice would be this bus, often parked above Cooper Union:
