Yesterday I mentioned that the Allentown Health Department was having this Million Clicks program to get people moving. It said I could come up and pick up my tag any time I wanted during office hours.
I never got to Staples yesterday, plus I need to to the bank, post office and a half dozen other places. Add Alliance Hall to the list.
I arrived and the receptionist asked my name and handed me an envelope. It is much bigger than I thought. I am #1122. I don't know if there is a thousand people doing this already — wouldn't that be cool — or 122. Never can tell where they start numbering.
Then I realized I'm at 6th and Chew. There's a new mural on Chew, I think near 6th. I turn the corner and I see it. (top). I set down my stuff, turn around and there is another one on the other side of the lot. That makes a total of three in one block!
Now I'm at 7th and Chew and I figure, I have an hour on the meter, might as well go up to 9th and Tilghman and check out the new one there. It's only open for about a month. So I zig zagged my way there, trying to stay in the shade.
This was taken with the Pano feature on my phone. Hard to get it all into one pix. And too lazy to do it in Photoshop. This one is clearly done all by children. It's massive.
I've now covered some distance. What the heck, I'm going to go find the click post at 9th and Hamilton. I figured it would be about the height of a meter. I was right. I bet there is a camera in it too. When my clicker touched it, it beeped. So I guess I did it correctly.
I went out Hamilton to the Arena and then thru the art walk. These are some of the sculptures. In all it took about 45 minutes (with picture taking) and I added about 2 miles to my total for today.
The roomie asked me what took so long. I told her long list.
