I wonder why...
Day 138
Formerly known as Planeview Park
May 16th, 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!

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!
Is that LaGuardia’s control tower?
WTF was wrong with “Planeview”?? Much more descriptive!
Planeview is on 23 av and 86 street. Overlook Park is a completely different park between 98 and 99 street.
From the Parks Department’s history of Overlook Park: “In 1989, Commissioner Stern changed the park’s name from simply ‘Park’ to ‘Planeview Park;’ the name was later changed again to Overlook Park.”
