05.21.10 (posted 05.23.10) - as a young kid growing up in the 80s, one of my favorite movies was ghostbusters. what's not to love... a large marshmallow monster that had an uncanny resemblance to the pillsbury dough boy... the amicable friendly ghost, slimer... crazy inventions like the proton pack and ghost trap... and how awesome was the ecto-1 station wagon and the firehouse?
i had a chance to relive my childhood this afternoon with a visit to the new york public library. you know... the site where dr. egon spangler and dr. raymond stantz made their initial contact with the ghost, the "gray lady". even after years of living in nyc and passing by this place numerous times, it was my first time to actually go inside and check it out. the library is everything i imagined it to be. grand... ornate... and yes, kind of spooky. it was a real treat to see the gutenberg bible up close as well. simply amazing!
here's a few shots i took while strolling around.
