Producing somewhere around one-fifth of the city's electricity, this "Death Valley of New York City" is home to the famous million-kilowatt Big Allis, whose rocky childhood is now a thing of the past.

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!
Matt, What are the larghe bare circles in the front of Big Allis?
They don’t look like ball fields, any help?
