11th-21 Streets between 5th and 6th Aves (Park Slope)
This was going to be another zigzag up and down Park Slope streets, this time between 5th and 6th Avenues. I'm glad I remembered to turn on the walking app, even if it was a little late. I got off the train at 9th Street and 4th Ave. I walked up to 5th Ave and over to 11th Street to get started. I grew up in the area, but I rarely went above 5th avenue taking these blocks. If I had to get somewhere on 6th, 7th, or 8th Avenues, I'd likely walk up 8th street (which I lived on) or 9th Street (which was a main street) and then walk over. I didn't really know these blocks. I didn't have friends who lived on them. Walking up Ninth Street from the Fourth Ave station, the first thing I noticed are the top floors of the buildings across the street. I'm almost 100% positive that these were NOT there when I was growing up. None of these buildings were more than three stories, as evidenced by the two on the left side of the photo. These are all add-ons to take advantag...
