Bushwick between Wyckoff and Cypress
One morning before work.
Also, a few videos that will likely show up on Instagram at some point.
It occurred to me that I could catch the M train to Knickerbocker Ave and work my way up to those streets between Wyckoff and Cypress Ave that I'd skipped before (because I always walked west from the L train on Wyckoff). I think I had planned on doing the reverse after school, but this opportunity presented itself. (If I remember correctly, there was a state Regents exam that day, so I didn't need to be in early.)
Biggest snag that I hit was that I miscounted blocks. Yes, I counted "one" instead of "two" once. But I caught it and went back around to get the blocks I missed.
After passing Hesser Triangle, and its WWI memorial, I turned up Menihan Street, passing by the Broadway line again.
At Cypress, I moved over two blocks to Harman. (I'd gone down Greene before.) That's extension popping out of the house caught my eye.
Next after that was Himrod.
After that, it was Stanhope, Stockholm, Dekalb, Hart, Suydam, and Willoughby before catching the subway back to work.
The only unusual thing was wanting to walk a couple of dead-end streets by Grover Cleveland Athletic Field (which I didn't know what cut off those streets at the time), excpet those tiny disconnected streets are in Queens.
And that's it for this trip. Come back soon.
