Day 1058

R.I.P. Asia

November 22nd, 2014

What appears to have been a little-used bulletin board for the Teens At Parks program here at Baisley Pond Park has been transformed into a memorial for D'aja (Asia) Robinson, a 14-year-old girl who was killed in 2013 when the bus she was riding was fired upon and she was struck in the head by a bullet apparently intended for someone else.

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!
