Listening to Episode 1030, Jeff Pinn from Rochester decided to follow Leo's directions to Dick's Gadget Warehouse.

Dick explains that the warehouse is inside Sofia Brothers Warehouse at the corner of 83rd Street and Amsterdam Avenue. For more details, see Episode 850.

Disney Smellitzer
The Paint Pourri in Episode 1020 reminds Daryl Holmquist of Disneyland's scent emulator which produces scents and smells reminiscent of that particular part of Disney World. Daryl refers to it as the Smellolizer, but apparently the name is Smellitzer, and the technology involved has been patented by Disney. Perhaps one day DGW listener Ricky Brigante can write about it on his Inside the Magic blog.
