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!
Even without doing any marketing, someone surely could have come up with a better name.
If nothing else, why not stop at “Morrisania?”
So they actually meant to build on top of and over the trains tracks? I don’t get this, it sounds stupid and dangerous to me. That would make me very uneasy knowing that there wasn’t solid ground beneath my home. Heaven help NYC when and if it ever has an earthquake.
Happens all over the world.
