Day 28

Jackson Heights English Garden Home

January 27th, 2012

Today I passed several blocks of these houses, built in the 1920s as part of a "restricted" community for wealthy white Protestants. In a beautiful ironic twist, they now lie in one of the most diverse neighborhoods on earth.

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!
