Description :
Deyo and Leibowitz, editors at Jinx, a zine devoted to the urban exploration
movement, illumine what drives them to explore cities' infrastructure,
the places few consider going (including sewage systems, subway tunnels
and bridge spans).
The authors take readers on a hike to Manhattan from the Bronx via the
Croton Aqueduct. They also traverse the tunnels under Riverside Park to
find the so-called mole people who live in the Amtrak system and to
seek out graffiti artists. A semi-break-in takes readers into the
Roosevelt Island Smallpox Hospital. Other treks include exploring a
condemned building in East Harlem, a nondiplomatic maneuver at the
United Nations and climbing to the summit of the George Washington
Bridge.
