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!
Painting done by the tired doll in the tree?
White tree park? We have one of them ..Like GiGi’s comment too…I was thinking it was suicide after doing all the work…
The paint seals cracks to keep water out and stops it from freezing also. Some of your wild animals, dogs and etc. will not piss on something white.
Neat. I’ve seen painted trees before but I had no idea why they were painted!
My grandpa used to do that to his trees…it was a bug repellant and he thought it looked nice…socks on his horses and his trees.
Cold feet. White paint. Warm tootsies-priceless.
I just love the little scarecrow doll stuck to the tree. With the trees leaning, the over turned chair and the doll stuck to the tree makes it look like a storm blew threw.
