This little cemetery just underwent a pretty thorough cleaning a few months ago. (There are headstones back there, but they're tough to see without zooming in.)

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!
New Yorkers for Parks did a profile of a Staten Islander who has taken it upon herself to attend to abandoned cemeteries. If you’re interested in learning more, go to our website: http://www.ny4p.org.
