Day 243
Well, which is it?
August 29th, 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!

~9,954 miles walked
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!
VERY non-standard lettering. (Even the paint on the cross walks looks fake! Is there actually a stop sign on the “pole” shown in the picture, the top of which we cannot see? VERY ODD. Cannot imagine that the City would condone such markings, assuming it know about them.
It looks like the City came in and restriped the crosswalk, you can see the old crossing line in the crosswalk striping. Yes, there is a stop sign at the location. Oops, they realized that if you have a stop sign you need a stop line in the street, so don’t get rid of the old letters, but stipe over it. It looks like the new stop lettering was done without a stencil, probably using the striping machine and/or by hand. AND as for the City, they have done worst striping jobs elsewhere, at least “STOP” is spelled correctly.
