Yesterday I mapped a tiny area with lots of shops, bars, etc. This stretch of 43rd is so dense and diverse, it is really interesting. There are high-end establishments, but also a church and a food bank, convenience stores, a Mediterranean market. Next survey of the west portion of 43rd I think will go quicker as it becomes more suburban.

Some highlights:

• I realized I need to add bulletin boards to my ‘look-for’ list - I found two of them in this little stretch, at a cafe and a record store.

• Did not know there was a Mediterranean market so close to my neighborhood!

• Found an interesting looking cafe I had never heard of (though it was closed at the time - will check out later)

• Random excrement bag dispenser in a residential area on the way back - it’s silly but I love finding these, like a rare item in a video game :)
