Walkin' In Brooklyn

Up and out early on another warm August morning. The map says my walk started at 6:58 am. I guess I made good time getting to Saratoga Ave. I walked down Livonia Ave to E 98 Street and then down to the start of Lenox Rd, which runs southwest for eight blocks, where it'll cross Rockaway Parkway and Kings Highway.
