Day 7
Tyrome Tripoli Tree
January 6th, 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 have no idea what the name of the tree means! but its a cool sculpture. I love that you’re doing this throughout NYC. Living in Missouri, I would never get to experience NY this way, thanks! My only NYC experience was during high school, about 15 yrs ago when I was visiting Long Island for my cousin’s wedding. I toured a bit of the city with my mom and aunts. My aunts wouldn’t let me get out of the rental car, except to walk next to it in Central Park for a couple minutes. NOT the way to do NYC!!!
come back! Ditch the car…..and walk outside the tourist area…..You will be – so,so,so surprised.
I did a little research and found out the artist is from your borough, Matt .. http://tyrometripoli.com/statement/bio-2.html
Thanks for the link Gigi. Really interesting art forms that he does.
Looks like a wild sprinkler setup. I half expect it will shoot water.
Way cool! I’m really enjoying your journey, Matt. Thanks for sharing your wonderful perspective!
When I very first saw this I thought “Tupperware tree”. Great way to recycle/reuse materials.
Well hello Dorinda, I see you made trip over here. hope all get started over here,but if all come back we will have a good
following for Matt. Gotta go Dorinda see you later.
Dude…thats who stole all the picke bucket caps………!
Hey! The whole gang’s here! Matt, you’ve had some interesting pics on here and it’s only been a week. You have a great eye and I love seeing the city thru your eyes.
looks like a giant wind chime – reminds me of the moving metal sculptures in “Twister” (not the greatest movie, I know)
