Hight Line-New York

I left Philadelphia and came to New York by bus.
My first visit in NY was to the Hight Line. I was interested in the project because my friend D.G. explained me the main ideas behind it.

In the picture the "Tenth Avenue Square" in the Hight Line just over the 10th Av.

"The High Line was built in the 1930s, as part of a massive public-private infrastructure project called the West Side Improvement. It lifted freight traffic 30 feet in the air, removing dangerous trains from the streets of Manhattan's largest industrial district. No trains have run on the High Line since 1980. Friends of the High Line, a community-based non-profit group, formed in 1999 when the historic structure was under threat of demolition. Friends of the High Line works in partnership with the City of New York to preserve and maintain the structure as an elevated public park." Taken from the Hight Line web.
