Locations Contest Ends Tomorrow!

ByScout January 9, 2010January 7, 2014

The joint Scouting New York and Proton Charging contest, in which we challenged eagle-eyed readers to find a particular shooting location from Ghostbusters II, comes to an end on Sunday at midnight!

If you’ve e-mailed your answer and not heard back, don’t worry, your entry has been counted (that is, if you got it right!). And for those that haven’t entered yet, if you study the clues closely (there’s definitely a give-away in there) and spend a bit of time on Google Maps, finding the location shouldn’t be too hard.

Good luck! And remember to check out ProtonCharging.com for the latest in GB news!

Yonkers Fears Oprah Can’t Be Stopped

ByScout January 24, 2011January 5, 2014

I’ve been scouting neighborhoods up in Yonkers recently (made all the more fun by kids off from school on a snow day trying to hit me with snowballs – thanks, kids!). As I was driving around last week, I started to notice something strange… Someone has been going around and writing “You can’t stop Oprah!”…

The Stationery Sign on Broadway

ByScout March 25, 2009January 8, 2014

Note: I think this is now gone. You’ve probably seen this sign a million times. It’s on Broadway, just north of Canal Street, and I always assumed there was a stationery store keeping it around for nostalgia value. Except…there is no stationery store.
