Walkin' In Brooklyn

I don't know what neighborhood I walked this past week (Wednesday, July 17, 2024), just that it was by the pool store. The store is in Bergen Beach, but if you look at the map, my travels took me closer to Georgetown, which is an area that I know is "over there" (waving hand non-specifically in its general direction) without knowning exactly where. I haven't had much reason to visit there in decades. (There used to be a yarn shop. There still might be one, but I haven't been brought there. And there are closer IHOPs as well.)

I had been trying to work in at least one walk per week, usually on a Wednesday or Thursday, because Monday and Tuesday are late days for teachers, and Fridays are Fridays. This is everywhere I've walked from May 2019 through today . I have one master, so I don't have a map ending June 30, 2024. (Not exactly true -- I uploaded one onto reddit in the r/Brooklyn subreddit. I supposed I could've download...

Sorry, but I've had too many irons in the fire, many demands on my time, so some of my hobbies and pastimes have taken hiatuses. Thank you for stopping by.
