Old subway signs pointing the way to hospitals and government buildings aren't too uncommon, but I can't recall ever seeing one for a house of worship before.
It’s not exactly an old subway sign, but at the southwest exit of Atlantic Ave/Pacific St (at Pacific St on the west side of 4th avenue), there is a mosaic sign for the Church of the Redeemer. No clue on the history of it though, but the church still stands at that corner.
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!
