Lenape 34 - Anyone from Nutley going?
I am new to long walking but I am looking forward to Oct 11th. I live in Nutley and am looking to see if anyone else is from here and is available to give me a ride to the starting point. We only have one family car which I want to leave here as my support vehicle in case I need to be picked up.

In NYC Broadway Is Busy, With Pedestrians - Not Car Traffic
Changing Broadway traffic to favor pedestrians rather than cars has transformed the grand avenue in Midtown to a passage as narrow as a sleepy street in Greenwich Village.
