11th-22rd Streets / 6th-7th Aves

Back into Park Slope so I can finish off this section of the map ... before it finishes off me!

This trip starts at the Seventh Ave G train station. I walked over to 11th St and started down the slope (in a northwestardly direction). Back up 12th, down 13th, etc. At this point, 16th Street and Prospect Ave have started to drift apart, so extra courts were added midblock.

11th Street

On 12th Street, there was a huge yard, which was essentially an empty lot with a house at the back of it. My first thought was that the house (or what might've stood there before it) was servant's quarters, which is something that I'd seen growing up in the neighborhood. But then I was wondering if that was the back of a house on 13th Street. It's not that. Google Maps shows that it's just recessed farther back then the larger houses (apartment buildings) on either side of it. Had I gotten closer, I might've noticed.

Next is 13th Street and 14th Street and another church: The Resurrection Catholic Coptic Church.

15th, 16th, Webster Place, Prospect Ave, Jackson Place, Calder Place

Calder Place turns into 17th Street, now on the eastern side of the expressway. There's a walkway on the right that brings people back to 6tth Avenue. And there's a sign for Detective John Mayrose Park, which should encompass all the greenery from 7th Avenue down to 6th.

Triangle at the corner of 18th street, which bends a little to accomodate the expressway breaking free of the rectangular grid. I don't have a picture of the South Slope Dog Run. There were some cute dogs there (with their companions), so I thought I had. There was also a park overlooking the expressway, which I spotted from the other side on 17th St, but it turned out to be closed and next to a school. It looked like I could open the gate and let myself in to get a picture, but I chose not to.

The one thing to note about 21st Street was that I thought the climb was going to kill me getting to the top is. Somehow, this one block was a bit steeper than the earlier ones, or maybe I was just a little tired. I was happy to walk down 22nd Street to Fourth Ave and the train station.
