Who was Florence Rand?

February 13th, 2015

This plaque on a boulder in Last Chance Pond Park reads:

This site is preserved
in memory of
Florence Rand
who came to Staten Island
as a young teacher
and never forgot
the unique history
and beauty she discovered.

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!
