Before it opened its storefront museum a couple of blocks away, the City Reliquary used to consist solely of this display case, which is actually just the apartment window of the Reliquary's founder. Currently on exhibit here is a collection of vintage lunch boxes owned by the museum's resident geologist.
Moving from front to back, we have the former Secret Project Robot building, the old Cass Gilbert grocery warehouse that's been converted to luxury lofts, and the gleaming, glassy condos we saw back in Part I.
This memorial at Our Lady of Consolation honors the 22,000 Polish citizens massacred in the Katyn Forest and elsewhere by the Soviet secret police in 1940, as well as the 96 (including Poland's president and many other government, military, and religious leaders) who died in a plane crash in 2010 while on their way to a 70th anniversary commemoration of the massacre.
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!
