The Other Place

November 4th, 2014

I have no idea what this place is/was, but it's looked the same since at least 2007.

"THOMPKINS" and "1989" are written in the sidewalk outside this building, the letters and numbers formed from stones embedded in the concrete. It turns out that the owner of this property from 1978 to 2013 was named Thompkins.

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!
