Standing water and the various chemicals contained therein have eaten away the asphalt at the end of this Hunters Point driveway and exposed the old Belgian blocks lying beneath.

Lousy drainage

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!
And the paving blocks certainly look better than the asphalt…and are probably more resistant to street sludge. Also, did not know that such blocks were called “setts”….wonder how that ties with a badger’s home??
