Hey, gang-

So, with COVID limiting our travel options and keeping us close close to home Nicki and I have tried to explore our own backyard and be local tourists in the Mid-South area we live in.

This post is about some of our favorite local spots and the discoveries we recently made while in downtown Memphis for my birthday. When we went on our honeymoon in New Orleans, it was kind of a three celebrations in one trip- our honeymoon, Halloween, and my 45th birthday. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Hey, gang-

My next few posts will be Flashback episodes- mostly about me and Nicki recently playing local tourists. The pandemic has kept us staying pretty much close to home, but have been able to get out and about in our “backyard” of Hernando, MS and Memphis, TN.

On Saturday, October 16th, Nicki and I went to check out the Hernando Skate Park 6th Anniversary competition and fundraiser event at Pidgeon Park in Hernando, MS.

The skatepark is just around the corner from us and Nicki had a new mirror-less digital camera she wanted to play with. (Sharing pics taken with my iPhone.) ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Hey, gang!

I’m back for another Flashback Friday featuring my trip to NYC and the Ghostbusters filming locations.

So far we’ve gone to the library, and firehouse– this time it’s another 1984 movie location. We’re visiting Dana Barrett and Louis Tully‘s Central Park apartment building at 550 Central Park West…

…the Shandor Building, also known as Spook Central! ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Hey, gang- got another Ghostbusters/NYC trip blog for you. Last week we checked out the NY Public Library.

This time Nicki and I visited the movie headquarters of the Ghostbusters which is an actual working New York City firehouse– Hook & Ladder Company #8.

It was built in 1903 and is located at 14 North Moore Street at its intersection with Varick Street in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Hey, gang- back for more of my trip to NYC. Last blog post was about Watchmen. This time it’s about Ghostbusters and the New York Public Library. I’ll be doing several Ghostbusters filming locations blog posts, so here’s the first of those.

If you’re a Ghostbusters fan (aka “ghosthead”) like myself, you probably remember the library’s exterior and iconic lion statues from the opening shots at the beginning of that 1984 movie.

Unfortunately when my wife Nicki and I stopped by last October we didn’t get to see them. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
