The High Line

From the High Line Blog: "The High Line is a 1.45-mile-long elevated rail structure on Manhattan's West Side. It was built in the 1930's to remove dangerous trains from Manhattan's streets. No trains have run on it since 1980. Friends of the High Lind formed in 1999 when the historic structure was under threat of demolition. FHL;s misison is to preserve the structure for reuse as an elevated public open space. Construction began in spring 2006."

I had heard about the High Line from several friends and was interested to check it out. They've done a BEAUTIFUL job with the design and landscaping. We only walked through a small part of it, but I plan on going back to walk the whole thing.







Kevin and me.

(Again family, as discussed in detail, we are JUST FRIENDS.)
