There were once houses standing here. Now there's just that yellow band around the utility pole, marking Sandy's waterline.

Still Not Home
January 31st, 2014
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!
Wow.
Yes, WOW. The water was THAT HIGH?!? Oh my gosh. I can’t even imagine. But by looking at some of the surounding homes they don’t look damaged. How come?
Some people had probably already made a lot of repairs in the couple of months between when the storm hit and when those photos were taken, and I’d also imagine a lot of those houses still had internal damage that just wasn’t visible from the outside.
