Nassau / Russell / N. Henry / Herbert

The screenshot says "plus a mile for glitches", which usually means that the app was not recording when I thought it was recording. Odds are (and I'm working from memory and logic) that I got off the train at the Nassau Ave G train station on Manhattan Ave and then walked to Msgr. McGolrick Park and turned north. And THEN I realized that I wasn't recording.

I took a wrong turn from the start as I meant to walk down Havermeyer but instead turned onto Roebling a block later because of where I exited the train. But that's okay, I just swung around the long way to get to Lee Ave, which I took to Rodney Street (just before the BQE). Rodney is cut off after a block, and I looked to see if I could walk through the area, but it didn't seem like it. (Checking Goolge Maps, I probably would've zig-zagged so much that I might as well just walk around, which I did.) So I ...
