Walkin' In Brooklyn

Easter Break is under way, and I'm off to Marine Park to fill in a few more blocks on the map as I move closer and closer to Kings Plaza. The first two streets were E 37-38 Streets between Fillmore and Kings Highway. After that, I wanted to go a little farther, so I walked Ryder and Kimball bewtween Quentin Road and Avenue U. This was a pretty straightforward walk for the morning... with some unusual sights. I started by heading north-west on E 37 until I hit Flatlands Ave. The streets of Marine Park are at an angle to the streets of East Midwood, and as a result, I was suddenly on E 36 Street because the streets on either side of Flatlands don't exactly line up. (You should see what happens to the avenues!) I'm not exactly sure what this decoration is supposed to be -- something from Halloween, dressed up for Christmas, that I photographed in April and posted in May. I wonder if I checked tomorrow if it'd still be there. Once I hit K...

Another summer morning in Marine Park. If you remember the last trip, I passed by the back of Lott House, the oldest dwelling in Marine Park. I passed this block again, and I walked down the front street as well. I even stopped to record a video that I never posted. (Side note: the video I included below has not been edited -- I probably should look to see if it needs any. Oops. I'll get to it.) Other than that, it was just four streets, but that was enough to cover nearly four miles -- and I only went from Kings Highway to Ave U on two of them! But I didn't want to overdo it -- completing the four blocks would've been over five miles. Starting on East 35 Street, I walked from Ave U, passed Lott House, up to the point where Ave N turns into the beginning of Flatlands Ave, which angles away a little more to the north. If you draw a straight line, you can connect Ave N with the point where it picks up again on the other side of Flatbush Ave, about East 45th Street. ...
