Boing Boing has news today of Alan Waddell, a 91-year-old man in the middle of a quest to walk every street in Sydney and its suburbs. He joins a few other peripatetic travelers who have taken on entire cities, including Phyllis Pearsall, who walked 3,000 miles in London while compiling the “Geographer’s A-Z Street Atlas,” and Francine Corcoran who conquered the streets of Minneapolis.
