Canton Ave / Albemarle Road

This walk was under three miles long. It got dark quickly and I cut short what I'd been planned. As a result, more than half of this walk was over streets that I'd walked before. I basically made my way along Canton Ave to the Parade Grounds and then walked back on Albemarle Road. After that, I walked around the cemetery to get to the D train. I've seen these pillars before, but I don't know the first time that I realized that they had a monogram PPS, for Prospect Park South, which isn't a name that I remember hearing as a kid. On the other hand, the only other name I've heard for this area is "Ditmas Park", which I'm sure is a much newer name. Albemarle ends at Coney Island Ave. That's where I had to call it. It was dark and getting colder -- this was back in January, just after New Years. And that's it for this trip. Come back soon. All of the above photo...
