Day 139
The ol’ spin-em-around-till-they-vomit machine
May 17th, 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 was on one of these as a child at Canobie Lake Park in NH. A girl got sick while riding and everyone on the ride got splattered. Such fun, fond memories.
I can’t remember if I rode on one of these at the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz, CA or at the Calif State Fair in Sacramento. The “Tilt-A-Whirl” I think…never got sick though.
