Here we are again at the surprisingly delightful Bowery Bay Water Pollution Control Plant, whose workers have been known to dominate the city's annual Sludge Olympics.
Day 144
Back at Bowery Bay

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!
Classic 1939 Art Deco architecture and relief murals. Love the weathered-over-time verdigris finish of copper-plated entry facade above doors. Took 73 years of exposure to air/seawater to create that distinct patina.
