Back to NYC. While crossing Houston Street, from south to north, (yes, that would be from SoHo to NoHo) along Elizabeth Street I stopped halfway when I saw this tarped hut on the corner. That's the place I saw on American Pickers. The one where they bought the sideshow tarps from the out of business amusement park for, like, 75 bucks and sold them for, like, 10 thousand bucks. And then they went back and split it with the guy at the amusement park. Did you see that one. Well , Billy Leroy at Billy's Antiques and Props was the appraiser that they hooked up with and the hung the tarps on the chain link fence there. New York is the kind of place you can do that. Just walk and say hey that's the (black) from the (blank) movie/show. You know, like, that's the wall Adam Sandler took a leak on in Big Daddy.
And the Indian Larry sign? Indian Larry was a bike builder who was always on those Biker Build-Off shows. East Coast vs. West Coast, with Jesse James, back before American Choppers and OCC.
When we first got into the city I got in the wrong lane and ended up crossing the Manhattan Bridge into Brooklyn. Then driving circles around trying to get back across and ended up crossing back over on the Williamsburg Bridge. Anyways, we passed by Indian Larry's shop but I could find anywhere to park to get some pictures so we kept going.
