Built on the site of the 1939 PGA Championship, Electchester was established as a housing co-op in 1949 by Harry Van Arsdale Jr. and Local 3 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.

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!
Oh, you were walking along 164th St., it’s the street parallel to where I live :) Sometimes when I take the bus to Flushing, we would pass these trimmed hedges and I’d always think how well tended the site is.
