In this shot from Francis Lewis Park (named for a local signer of the Declaration of Independence), we get a better view of the stay cables* that, as we learned last time we saw the bridge, were installed to help keep it from going the way of the Tacoma Narrows.
* Four stay cables (not to be confused with the main suspension cables) run diagonally from the top of each tower down to the roadway. You can see them more clearly if you zoom in.
The black sign in the window displays the permit number for a well on the property.

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!
