Day 729

The name of this childcare center brings to mind Martin Van Buren — "Old Kinderhook" — the first president from New York State. Speaking of Old Kinderhook, have you ever wondered where the expression "OK" came from? There's some dispute, but the predominant theory is pretty awesome.

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!

~9,954 miles walked

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!
