Who wants to play Bloomberg-opoly?

A few years ago a goon I know created this – I thought it’d be nice to updated it a little and bring back for Bloomberg’s finally few hours in office.



The 12 Days of Looting 2013 – Day 9.

The history nerds in us just can’t ignore historic photos and amazing slides that are bound for the trash bin. Save the loot!



The 12 Days of Looting 2013 – Day 8.

“You gotta treat the job site like it’s a job” Looting is often about disguise – loot your disguises, then loot some more.



The 12 Days of Looting 2013 – Day 7.

Vancouver Vs. NYC Subway Tunnel construction

This was one of the easiest subway tunnel explorations I’ve ever done. It is the mouth of the tunnel for the new ‘Canada Line’ subway route in Vancouver, B.C.



Subway Cops vs. Mole People Part 2 of 2

This is part 2 of a 2 part video shot in the mid/early 1990s about the ‘mole people’ of NYC and the police officers who brave the tunnels attempting to get them to leave.
