Welcome back to Parkchester!
Day 505
Lady and the Bull
May 18th, 2013
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!
That is Zeus and Europe: http://www.greekmyths-greekmythology.com/myth-of-europe/
The image on the other Parkchester building seems to be Leda and Zeus (as a swan): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leda_and_the_Swan
Thanks! I didn’t know the story of Zeus and Europa.
I had also wondered if the other piece was supposed to be Zeus and Leda, but the girl looks very young, and also seems to be the aggressor, and I think the bird looks more like a goose than a swan (here‘s a larger version of that photo).
