Day 530
To anyone with a chainsaw:
June 12th, 2013
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!
That’s a sycamore. That’s not falling down anytime soon! Try finding a Sandy-damaged sycamore.
@Steve–I’ll say–when we bought this old farmhouse where I still live, back in 1971, there was a large sycamore in our front field that a tree guy said we had better take down before it fell down. It is still there,
This is probably a London plane, actually. It’s in the same genus as the sycamore (and thought to be a hybrid of the American sycamore), and it’s New York’s most prevalent street tree.
