New York City Photo Trip Report – Part 3
Wild Bill's Dark Ride Paradise
August 6, 2012

Wild Bill pointed out that the store used to be a theater, where Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and a whole bunch of other famous people performed; here's the edge of the little stage. Sounds like a mob joint, doesn't it? Well, it was! More on this further along.

At the back end of the stage stands this crazy-cool metal and animal skull art piece, some kind of mecha-bear-looking thing...

...facing this humanoid assemblage of old bear traps. Creepy and kind of dangerous-looking, which is my kind of art.

Vinyl, by the ton. I'll bet a lot of you could spend hours right here.

This kiddie rocket ship ride vehicle will also be put to good use soon.

I am indeed old enough to remember playing with these. "You knocked my block off!"

A contender for the most dangerous kid vehicle ever, the brakeless trike sled! At least they had the decency to turn the handle bars around, so you wouldn't impale yourself on them when you slammed into whatever obstacle finally brought your ride to an end.
