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

I'm still kicking myself for not buying this sign. Because I need this sign.

I have yet to see a more widespread assortment of Wacky Wobblers anywhere.

I call dibs on "Super Atomic Fun Team" as the name for my band, whenever I finally get around to forming a band.

How much would you have to hate someone to give them a "Talking Snooki" bobble head? A lot, I reckon.

And that is all just a little taste of the phantasmagorical collection of goodies you can purchase at Wild Bill's.

Eventually, the rain subsided and we were able to spend some more time out of doors.

At some point in the distant past, there was a working farm on this property and this was a working grain silo.

I'm no connoisseur of clowns, so without Larry's insight, I never would have known that this is the "Howdy Doody Show's" Clarabell the Clown. We also learned from Wild Bill that this Clarabell head once belonged to Bob Keeshan, the first actor to play Clarabell (and who went on to become Captain Kangaroo).

These "doorways" all the way up one side served an important function in handling the grain and for the life of me, I can't remember what that function is.
