It's been a while.
Day 51
Chickens!
February 19th, 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!
Hah! They’re camera shy Matt. Took them more than a month to show themselves to you again.
There used to be a shoe repair store (that also made keys, of course) where the owner had chickens roaming freely on the sidewalk out front when the shop was open for business.
This was way back in the days before Chelsea (a neighborhood in Manhattan) was anything close to what it has become today.
More on that when Matt’s walk leads him to that area.
The chickens were friendly, and everyone seemed to like having them around.
