(Birthday)
Day 653
Happy Halloween!
October 13th, 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!
You usually show good taste and appropriate sensitivity. But I’m afraid you failed to do so here — and in the Bruno photo.
This appears to have been a family whose daughter died at an early age. They should rest in peace without passing, flippant commentary. And whatever well-intentioned Holloween celebration should not be mocked.
I respectfully disagree. Why do you think I’m mocking them? I love the idea that someone in the family takes the time to festively decorate this grave site. My “flippant commentary” is literally what the decorations say.
I’m also very proud of the Bruno picture you mention. I think it’s a beautiful juxtaposition of eternal rest and the imposing realities of a modern city.
I accept your explanation. Thanks for replying. BTW, I continue to be a great fan of your work.
Thank you!
