I was riding in a car on Springfield Avenue in Irvington, New Jersey, when I glanced out the window and spotted the ne plus ultra of barberz: XQIZIT KUTZ. For those keeping count, we have, in the space of a mere ten characters: 1) an E-less X, 2) a U-less Q, 3) a Z in place of an S, 4) an excised silent E, 5) a K in place of a C, and 6) another Z in place of an S. Astounding!
Now, you could potentially argue that an I (or two) should have been swapped out for a Y, or that the first T should have been turned into a D, but, come on, XQIZIT KUTZ is too restrained for that kind of nonsense.
Since it's not located in NYC, this xqizit xample of the barbering artz won't make it onto the official list of barberz, but that's just as well. It's clearly in a class of itz own.
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!
