Mysterious NYC seal

January 26th, 2012

It looks similar to, but is quite distinguishable from, the current city seal. Apparently this is not uncommon: the seal has had a long and chaotic history.

The mystery is why this seal is here is the first place. The building is currently the home of E-J Electric Installation Co., and bears no other indication of its previous use by the city.

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!
