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!
I think it’s a wonderful organization according to the article. There should be more like it. I totally believe in sisterhood and Christian morals and values. We’ve gotten too far away from things like that, even just plain manners , decency and respect too.
Hope the ladies have been able to get some help as well taking care and fixing the place up. Great shot and history Matt.
