Indeed…

la Revolucion, no morira eternamente!

This is the very quiet tree lined 91st Street between Ridge Boulevard and Colonial Road.  Only one side of the street has homes on it, while the other side has a giant 20something foot wall that surrounds a monastery. 

It’s a very quiet and peaceful block that many would least suspect to find a stop on the Bay Ridge Gore Tour - let alone a spot where a serial bomber who has never been caught, killed.

One of these two houses (pictured center) is where the very first known murder of the Zip Gun Bomber took place - and no, I have no idea if there were others that are not known. 

To be honest I’m not actually sure which house it is.  See, one section of the block has been completely renumbered so that the street address at which the bomb went off at is no longer in existence.  The number go 124, 126, 130, 132, etc.

On Mother’s Day in 1982 a box containing a Sears cookbook was left at the door of 128 91st Street.  Joan Kipp, a 54 year old mother opened the package and the cookbook which sent a .22 caliber bullet shooting out, killing her. 

Her son was arrested and charged for this crime, and eventually freed after prosecuters realized that he had little evidence to prove that her son had anything to do with the crime. 

The zip gun bomber has struck a total of seven times and not within the last ten years. 

This case has been so mysterious and unsolved that it actually made it onto episode # 400 of Unsolved Mysteries.

Such an ironic way to go…

How’s this for a welcome…

Classy, huh? 

This is a shot of the Ikea down in Red Hook…

Notice anything offbeat about this Ikea?

Take a closer look at the colorful outside wall they have there…see anything yet?

No?  Well don’t you find that there is something offbeat in that there are multiple colors making up that metal sheeting wall, and that all of the colors are used in all three horizontal sections - all except for the green on the top line! (Thank you very perceptive girlfriend)

Why didn’t they place any green on the top horizontal line?

Very odd, and I smell the Swedish conspiracy!

It’s a tree, yeah…definitely a tree…

Definitely…definitely a tree name Raymond…yeah…Raymond…

Raymond the tree…yeah…Raymond the tree…
