"Plesant quiet copied by a sign sticking out from a fence."

Even though this picture is the block in tottenville, it is not what i am talking about, i am talking about a grassy fence next to harold avenue and hylan blvd behind someone's backyard not only is there a streetsign sticking out, but there are streetlights, and an american flag.
To home owner, check behind your fence for proof, I saw it from Hylan Blvd.

"Useful for getting around"

Hylan blvd is the main st of staten island, it begins in rosebank at edgewater street, and ends 14 miles down at satterlee street in tottenville but traffic stops at page avenue and tottenville has no shopping at all, just houses.

"Major clearing, perfect (you might need a cutter)"

This street is real up until koch blvd. then it's a major clearing, you can almost drive a car down it, but don't try it.
On the intersection of holdridge avenue and sycamore street there is a burnt van covered in graffiti, kids these days! from sandborn street to edwin street (not counting sycamore street) it is sidewalks and gravel on fingal street it is more gravel, then you reach amboy rd.

"Foresty and thorny, mild pain, (bring cutters, take breaks on the remnants)"

Lipsett avenue may seem normal but look closley, it once stretched from hylan boulevard to amboy road during the 1930's. I Walked through it and found out that old cars were sitting there acummulating rust and the sidewalks are still there, as I entered from amboy road everything seemed like natrual woods but i was suspicious because the green street sign even said lipsett avenue yet there was no street there just a bunch of random weeds and trees, as I approched Edwin street remnants of a car lay. When I approched Tallman street and eylandyt street, It was Sidewalks all throughout the land as I came to the center a completley good sidewalks and a half a dozen rusty cars were waiting for their owners, and the sidewalk was being lifted in two spots by two trees, the sidewalk ended at shirley avenue then i continued on the journey, I found another remnant on noel st. as I came to kinghorn street, something shocked me, there was acually asphalt laid out but I found out why they abandoned that part, there was a huge crater with sewer pipes in it scattered around
then I went home. The End
