Day 24

January 23rd, 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!

~9,954 miles walked
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!
This building looks very familiar- I believe its in Long Island city- one of the few areas in the city that doesnt seem to have changed very much
Hi Tom, there’s a “View on map” link for each picture – I hadn’t noticed it until recently. This building is on Centre Street, by Avenue of the Finest, across from City Hall Park. Is that Long Island City?
The View on Map link for the above pic is that for the first 9/11 Memorial taken on Day 2 http://imjustwalkin.com/2011/12/31/911-memorial-1/ There must have been a glitch on the links attached.
Better to click on the pic itself which will take you to Hobo Matt’s flickr photostream. The map on the photostream for this particular pic will show that this was taken in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, which I think is a more accurate location.
That’s weird. The link is working properly now. I think there’s a delay between the posting of the photo and when it correctly appears on the map. I’ll keep an eye on this.
Okay, I don’t get it…how is it supposed to work? All I get is a map.
