Name-checked in the NY Times's obituary about John McNamara, the "Sage of the Bronx"
Day 193
Yznaga!
July 10th, 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!
Nice obit. The kind of guy we should all aspire to be.
“Mr. McNamara, who was a Cub Scout leader and volunteer fireman, wanted to be remembered as a historian for the 20th century. So he stopped writing on Dec. 31, 1999.”
Wow, writing until he was 87 years old! I’m glad Mr. McNamara shared his knowledge of the area with everyone all these years.
So, Matt is this Century’s Mr. McNamara?
