Arthur's gone; they finally evicted him. Here's the note he left for his supporters.
Day 664
Broken Angel, brokenhearted
October 24th, 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’s tellin’ ’em, Frank.
A sad story. Where is the heart and soul of NYC?
If your walks teach nothing else it is that it does still exist in this wide and wonderful city, but perhaps not in this particular place and time. :-(
At the same time, New York City is an ever-changing landscape, and I believe that the spirit in the good works of Arthur and Cynthia Wood will live on.
If not here, then it will be somewhere else in the city.
awfully bland gentrification hq condo stands in its place these days.
