I frequently drive past this parking lot at Kent and Broadway in Williamsburg. Whenever I pass, I notice the psychedelic bus parked there…
…and I wonder: what’s the story with the pit bull sitting in the second to last seat?
He’s always there, staring morosely out the window at passing cars. I’d say he’s a guard dog, except there’s really nothing to guard in this parking lot.
Well, except the psychedelic bus.

PS – He is alive! I saw him move once.
I was waiting forever in heavy traffic on Norfolk Street to turn onto the Williamsburg Bridge when I noticed this sign. It seems pretty old (I’m sure that crossed circle was once red), and the more I thought about it, the more I decided that it has to be the most abstract official traffic sign…
Saw this in a Bronx apartment building: I love the idea that so many people were riding outside of the elevator car, they needed to put up this sign. How do you even do that?? -SCOUT
Don’t let the squat little Rite Aid storefront on Manhattan Ave in Greenpoint fool you… It has a big history. A movie theater for most of its life, you can see it below in 1928 when it was known as the Fox Meserole showing silent films (the advertised Baby Mine was made in 1928 –…
Continuing my search for a usable elevator in Greenpoint, my boss had given me a few addresses to check out, and as I approached 61 Greenpoint, I noticed a really great building detail I’ve never seen before… Lining the top floor windows are rows… …of pencils! Why Pencils? 61 Greenpoint was once part of the…
Seen today at the 23rd Street gas station. -SCOUT
This is 126 Sterling Place in Park Slope. Most likely, you’ve never paid much attention to it… …and if you have, chances are you haven’t noticed the that the bricks on the upper levels don’t match the rest of the building. While it might seem like a trivial detail, this is pretty much the only…

Hmmmm. Perhaps, it’s the ghost of a dog that used to ride the psychedelic bus with hippies?
Is he definitely alive? Because he looks a lot like that RCA Victor “His Master’s Voice” dog!
He looks like a cardboard cutout!
Hell of big dog house eh?!
He’s the Heir of the Dog that bit the 60’s generation…
I walk up Kent Ave all the time, never noticed the dog though.
I did notice that they moved the bus to the other side of the parking lot though!

Was walking up Kent this morning, and noticed that not only had the bus been moved, it had disappeared!!! As I continued on my walk I saw it parked across from the big lumberyard on West St not too far from the old Greenpoint Terminal Market…
And that dog barking away!!!

I just saw this bus on Wythe Avenue, behind Automotive High School (so quite a bit north from where it used to be) And the dog was in the bus! He’s definitely alive although I can’t say I’m psyched about his living situation.
The bus runs off vegetable oil and it’ll be coming along with us as we skate across the country. The dogs are cool and loving the attention.
