It's not clear what, but something is apparently in danger of bring lost here beneath the old Rockaway Beach Branch.
Day 1210
LET’S NOT LOSE IT!
April 23rd, 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!
Three doors down is the firehouse for Engine 294 and Ladder 193. It was once on the list of houses subject to closure.
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the info! I posted a photo of that firehouse, and wrote a little bit about it, here. Engine Company 294 was in fact disbanded because of budget cuts in 1991, but a strong push by the community led to its resurrection in 1994. It had also previously been closed for budgetary reasons between 1975 and 1981.
