By the time I got there, it was gone. The World’s Fair, you ask? Nope. I am referring to something far more unbelievable… That’s right: Queens once had an honest-to-God Parks Department-approved fountain named “Fountain of the Planet of the Apes.” And if that’s not odd enough, an identical fountain \[…\] The post 45 Years Late to the World’s Fair appeared… ## [Why You Should Never Go To Hudson University](https://nickcarr.com/why-you-should-never-ever-go-to-new-york-citys-hudson-university/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=why-you-should-never-ever-go-to-new-york-citys-hudson-university) _2026-08-17 · nickcarr · Nick Carr / Location Scout_ As the summer comes to a close and students everywhere head back to school, I sometimes think about New York City’s Hudson University – and wonder if the incoming class has any idea they’re about to set foot on the most dangerous campus in America.

Case in point: this lecture hall at Columbia University, which has been in so many movies and TV shows, you d assume all college lecture halls are like this.

Rep: No, absolutely not. Me: How about at Y? Or Z? Rep: Certainly not. Me: OK. How about if you just let me know where filming is allowed? Rep: That s not how it works.

As we were scouting it with the director, an apartment scene was abruptly added to the day s work, and I was given an hour to find a cleared option for them \[ \] The post House by the Cemetery appeared first on Nick Carr / Location Scout . ## [Staging A Murder](https://nickcarr.com/staging-a-murder/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=staging-a-murder) _2026-07-31 · nickcarr · Nick Carr / Location Scout_ One thing I love about scouting on crime shows is when they ll ask the locations department for fresh ideas on where to stage a murder. I ve always thought the maze of tires you find at mom-and-pop auto repair shops could make a pretty solid option… The post Staging A Murder appeared first on Nick Carr / Location Scout . ## [Open coordination for humans & AI (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/9V2L9yWSwxtv) _2026-07-31 · **Sponsored**_ Shared schemas and CLI tooling to validate, route, and audit human-agent workflows. ## [Iconic LA Filming Location #542: Hillcrest Road @ Carmelita](https://nickcarr.com/iconic-la-filming-location-542-hillcrest-road-carmelita/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=iconic-la-filming-location-542-hillcrest-road-carmelita) _2026-07-30 · nickcarr · Nick Carr / Location Scout_ Single-handedly responsible for making movie-goers around the world think this is what all LA streets must look like.
