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

It's tough to see in this photo, but this is a dual-pedal kid's car. Wild Bill explained that no one has been able to figure out who made this thing and no one as ever seen another like it.

Wild Bill bought an old lion cage from this zoo; we saw that outside later.

It warmed my heart to see this J pegboard of timeless novelty pranks and gags. Plastic dog doo, whoopee cushions, black mouth candy, all the good stuff, right here.

I honestly couldn't tell you which of these I want more. Each is, in its own way, magnificent.

This is a one-off bike that was made for Richard Boone, the star of the old tee-vee series "Have Gun, Will Travel," and now it can be yours. (Apparently, he wasn't too keen on it; go figure.)

Dig the expressions of complete heart-pounding terror on those faces! Oh, did I want to walk out of here with this poster...

Poor Marilyn... This year is the 50th anniversary of her death.
