Walkin' In Brooklyn

This was a quick walk, but not quite quick enough. I actually chopped off part of my original route. The reason for that was I had an extended lunch break before afternoon parent-teacher conferences started. Since I didn't have enough time to get home (mass transit being unreliable in the middle of the day, if I missed any connections, I would've been late), I decided to hit an area near to school, which on a chilly, cloudy November day seemed pretty bleak. There were more streets than I entered on Map My Walk. For that matter, I didn't list them all in the header, either. I didn't take a video (at least there isn't one saved on my hard drive), so here's a video from a couple days before!

I turned left and took Russell street to Greenpoint Ave and then did a 180 and walked Russell down to Nornam. All around the neighborhood, I saw trailers and placards for three different filming projects in the area in coming days. Moul...
