Day 3
The Hell Gate Bridge
January 2nd, 2012
I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
I got this small tidbit from wiki .. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_Gate_Bridge
The bridge would be the last New York City bridge to collapse if humans disappeared, taking at least a millennium to do so, according to the February 2005 issue of Discover magazine. Most other bridges would fall in about 300 years.
Thanks for the link Gigi. Quite interesting.
I’m not going anywhere…so the bridge will just have to hang in there. Hell’s Gate….uggghhh..couldn’t find a better name…
I am soooo excited for you to be doing another walk!!!
