Day 1171
A little bit of everything
March 15th, 2015
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!
That is rather unusual pipe sitting there. The color makes it looks like clay pipe which has not been commonly used for over 50 years, probably more. I have been in civil engineering since 1966 and never seen it used in new construction here on the west coast. Even if it is just clay colored cement concrete, it is still unusual to see because it is expensive, very heavy, takes a lot more time and effort to install the short pieces and is somewhat fragile unless reinforced with steel rebar.
