Weekly Walk Week of 3-5-18

Boy am I happy I got up very early today! I fell asleep on the train and rocketed past 23rd street while riding the R train! Imagine my shock when I ended up on 14th street, an alien station to me. For the life of me, I could not figure out where the other platform entrance was to catch a train back, so I opened up Google Maps and saw that Baruch College Vertical Campus was only a couple of blocks off. “Whatever, I could use the wake-up walk”, I thought to myself, starting off toward the school. On the way I saw some stores I had never seen before, granted, I was too tired to remember any of them, but there were plenty of shops wedged tightly in between bigger businesses. There was a pretty interesting triangular plaza about halfway through the walk, I thought it was neat how the city constructors thought to add a small, open space to provide some relief from the crowding of the city. Once I recognized the familiar fast-food chains such as McDonalds, among other stores, I quickly found the Vertical Campus entrance and made my way up, chatting about miscellaneous stuff with Michael as we waited for class to start.
