Go Wild NYC Contest
This month I will be providing some content from my website for the LinkNYC communication kiosks in New York City. The theme for this month is Go Wild NYC, to tie in with National Wildlife Week.
National Wildlife Week was established in 1938 and runs from April 3 to 9 in 2023. Most people do not associate New York City with wildlife, but if you read my website, you know that Old New York was filled with amazing true stories of lions, tigers, bears, and more!
For those not familiar with it, LinkNYC is a communications network that has replaced pay phones across the city’s five boroughs. Each LinkNYC kiosk provides fast and free public Wi-Fi, phone calls, device charging, and a tablet for people to easily access city services, maps, and directions.
Each kiosk also has fun facts that change throughout the day, such as my Go Wild NYC fun animal facts of Old New York! So while people are charging their phones or checking a map, they can pick up a few tidbits about NYC and its history. Way more fun and informative than the old pay phones.
I won’t be able to get into the city until later this month (and even when I’m there, I may not see one of my blurbs since the kiosks change all the time). So if you are in New York City and come across one of these kiosks with a Go Wild NYC animal fact, please take a picture and either send it to me by email (pgavan@optonline.net) or–better yet–tag my Twitter account, @HatchingCatNYC, or my Facebook account with the hashtag NYCAnimalFacts
Everyone who sends or posts a photo will be entered to win an autographed copy of my book, The Cat Men of Gotham. The drawing will take place during the first week of May.
