I wonder how many miles are on this one.
Almost every roll-down gate in the city is accompanied by at least a couple of these sticker advertisements put up by gate repair companies hoping they'll get the proprietor's business next time the gate malfunctions. The stickers generally go unseen by the public (I never noticed one until your webmaster pointed them out to me), but they are EVERYWHERE. For example: this, this, and this.
I'm pretty sure you're officially hanging out.
Remember these trailers? My buddy Dan has obtained photographic evidence of their use as equipment storage outposts for technicians, backing up the claim he made in the comments of the post linked above, and corroborating Anders's research as well.
Some well-used walking paths have been built around the park since this article was written. A dumping ground no longer!
Built in conjunction with the adjacent Albert Einstein Junior High School. (One thing this walk has taught me: if a city park has a good name, it was probably bestowed upon it, as was this one, by Henry Stern.)
Home of the New York Emperors Stickball League. Hopefully I can catch a game in progress next time I pass by.
You could earn up to $500 for providing information about this flagrant flouter of ยง 10-119.
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!
