With its matte black color, bars on the windows, and grim-ass dungeon chains, this spooky RV is perplexing residents of the Lower East Side’s Baruch Houses. The RV, which Bowery Boogie managed to snap a photo of before being caught and devoured by mutants, is often parked on Baruch Drive near the Williamsburg Bridge. It’s been spotted at East 4th Street and Avenue B as well.
