Day 10
Another nice collection of footwear
January 9th, 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 remember being in awe of shoes on wires when I was a kid. You see, living on Long Island, we didn’t see things like this much…so anytime we went to visit some of the family in “the city”, I always wondered how long it took to get those shoes up there. :)
I read somewhere that shoes hanging over telephone wires in a neighborhood is like the call sign for “get your drugs here.”
Hope none of those shoes have feet in them.

My husband was told while visiting that it had something to do with brothers that have been taken out of this world… when one dies – his shoes go up…
