Milkcrate Peeping Tom

Milkcrate assists peeping tom

Local news is probably one of the worst things about our current society. In this amazing dramatization they’ve recreated a milkcrate boosted pervert, who was caught by local police. Also, his face looks like a bad 3-D scan. –> Fischers police arrest alleged peeping Tom

NY Times, video about a milkcrate hoop

NY Times video about milkcrate hoop

I’m fairly certain that most people think that my fascination with milkcrates is more than a little silly. The NY Times is a respectable media outlet - and they just posted this little video about some young boys who posted their very own milkcrate basketball hoop in Brooklyn. See, I’m not the only one interested in such things! See the video here –> Milk Crate as Basketball Hoop, a Symbol of Urban Ingenuity

Fine art and metal(crates)

I don’t know why the scultor’s web site is called blue sloth. But, he makes some crazy stuff out of metal and he is fond of milkcrates. I’ve even posted about his once in the past. The pic above, shows the use of an old school metal milkcrate - the roots run deep. –> Tools of the Trade

A tale of a lost scooter and a found milkcrate

July, 2008 @ 10:22 am · Filed under Washington, DC, the real world

Scooter Minus Crate

From the Washington DC City Paper, comes a strange tale of a stolen scooter. I love the graphic above, which sums up the story nicely. Some young punks stole the writer’s bike, but took the time to remove the attached milkcrate and left it on a nearby corner. Read the full story here –> Scooters For a Larcenist
