Highline Park in NYC
June 23, 2009Highline was built in the 1930’s. It was built to help with the heavy flow of Railroad Transportation. At this time so much was going on in the city and 10th ave turned into Death Valley from the overpopulated trains. So Highline was built to help control these accidents and continue to have the city move. Now in 2009 after many years of talk to have it reopened for Public Space. Bloomberg opened up half of the park and it is truly an amazing experience a historical path turned into a modernized walk through history and the future. With views of the Empire state building and Jersey City you feel as if you are level with the hudson but you are over a main avenue. Beautiful designs and it has only begun it is still underconstruction and by next year it should be complete. Take a look at what has already been built. A free AMENITY. ENJOY.

What made this walk even more amazing was also the buildings around us while we walked. Old and new structures still stand making you feel one with history and future. I’m at it again Development freak speaking. I’m out.
Thanks for coming by.
