Day 375

Welcome to Beechhurst

January 8th, 2013

Ostentation seems to be the aesthetic of choice in certain parts of this Queens waterfront neighborhood, which was once home to two of the world's most famous people — Mary Pickford and, legend has it, Charlie Chaplin — among many other well-known entertainers (including Harry Houdini).

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!
