HELP THE VICTIMS OF THE HAITIAN EARTHQUAKE: AMERICAN RED CROSS INTERNATIONAL RESPONSE FUND

3/14 Tanks for the memories in Queens
3/16 Life in a Fishbowl bus
3/15. I've always walked slowly and deliberately, even though I am capable of walking faster (I adapt when I am with someone who wants to go faster). I walk a lot, but frankly, don't want to exert myself all that much, and I've always wondered why people have to walk so quickly. I have always seen it as a public statement that they are important people and have somewhere important to go. I have no such pretensions, and I feel free to shuffle down the street at my own pace. Forgotten NY is built in part on the fact that I walk slowly and am able to notice things fastwalkers don't. And, to make a painful segue, I have several items today you'd never notice if you were zooming along with your head down.

2/22 Myrtle Avenue: the el streets in Bushwick
3/1 Myrtle Avenue in Ridgewood and Glendale
3/8. FNY concludes its Myrtle Avenue survey, covering the five miles the road spans between downtown Brooklyn and Richmond Hill. Myrtle Avenue, which I photographed in sections between July 2009 and February 2010, is the first such ramble that I have decided to do all at once, in four consecutive weeks. Let me know: did you get bored with this approach, or should I space it out more, a la Bedford Avenue?
10/19. Tour 38 in Ridgewood and the Onderdonk House. ForgottenTour 39 is in the works -- check back here soon.

FORGOTTENTOURS
