This model of 7-20 Point Crescent, one of the many mansions ornamenting the streets of Malba, stands outside the gated property. How close of a match is it to the real thing?
Day 374
What lies inside those walls
January 7th, 2013
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!
This is awesome
Is this an awesome mailbox?
I thought so at first, but it doesn’t look like there’s any place for the mail to go. So I guess it’s just an awesome miniature house on a pole!
Malba is one of those far-reaching neighborhoods in Queens (nearby Whitestone) that I happened upon one day a few summers back on my bike, and it is quite exquisite with its mansions and beautiful views of Powell Cove, which also has a terrific forested park with a hiking path and another smaller hidden park with a stone-tiled sun dial. I have rode my bike also along the residential roads around there all the way from the Whitestone Bridge up to the Throg’s Neck Bridge, to Fort Totten and then to Alley Pond Park Environmental Center. Thrilling, beautiful, magical and spiritual journey.
