Day 407

The Standard Oil Church

February 9th, 2013

Funded by petroleum pioneer Charles Pratt and built in 1886-87, the Emmanuel Baptist Church is best known for its spectacular interior "meant to raise your spirits and remind people of the glory of God and that human hands could go beyond their daily toil."

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!
