RunEveryStreet brings us his final run of 2017 to the 147th address of John Cage’s 49 Waltzes for The Five Boroughs. Waltz 11.1 at Trinity Place with a touch of Van Morrison.

RunEveryStreet, over the course of 2017, ran to every single address specified by John Cage in his 1977 composition. Charting the differences and the changes of seasons through the city, this has been a mammoth and wildly impressive endeavor. Congratulations on all 147!!
