anon (c-68-35-227-32.hsd1.fl.comcast.net): Not even a day ago I was housesitting a fancy apartment that was but a few blocks from that station. It was my first time in NYC and when walking around I peered over the ledge on Tenth Ave to see the station and thought there's a lot of...

in response to The High Line:

balt: I believe that the building in #1 and #5 is the WNET/ Channel 13 building.

in response to The High Line:

procyon: this made my morning!! what is that vaguely trapezoidal building in #1 and #5, among others? it reminds me of wilson hall at fermilab. history.fnal.gov/highrise.html

in response to The High Line:

UPforit: I would love to join you on a surreptitious trip on the highline, these pics are great. As I live in Red Hook I totally appreciate the need to document at length the urban landscape before it becomes the spacescape. We can have an outlaw party up there (remember those,...

Mistifica: I am happy to read all this succes: you deserve it completely. Proud to work with you in Boston, next june. Please, take all the good thoughts streaming from my heart to you...

in response to Tenant and Their Guest Only

oompaloompa: Great historical piece. makes me remember that there are still parts of this city that can be explored and yet are hidden in plain sight just waiting for someone with the sense of adventure and willingness to brave that wilderness in a concrete jungle.

in response to Metro Cope2

Tony Coppoletta: Lovely. I'm looking forward to enjoying the green space once it's open--although it'll be in spurts since I don't live in New York... It's really exciting that this is happening, though, since it sets a good precedent for these sorts of urban projects. This particular rails-to-trails project has inspired...

in response to Side-by-Side Tandem Bicycle:

Aniline: The best part was when I saw the little tiny tree (I think it was that evergreen) and it was covered in a string of lights and had these two really nice cement benches off to either side. It was such an adorable little hiding spot. :)

in response to The High Line:

Corinne: I had my brand new Fuji Crosstown 3.0 stolen on June 18th from outside the Hudson Bay Building at Yonge and Bloor. I owned it for 3 days. They cut right through the good cable lock. The first time I rode it in to work it disappeared. DRAG! Contacted building...

Franny Wentzel: They should leave it for Nature to reclaim.

in response to The Highline Debate...

Franny Wentzel: The last train to use that was back in 1981 when a load of Thanksgiving turkeys were delivered. Amazing to see how quickly Nature reclaims what man thought was his own.

Peter: also: getting those last 5 aerial shots turned out to be harder than getting into the high line to begin with, hahaha...

Sarah B.: I forgot to put my name at that last posting! That's me, the Bushwick baby :)

in response to Bushwick 77: The Casusos of Harman St.

anon (ool-44c2cbd1.dyn.optonline.net): I was a Bushwick baby, born on Troutman Street in 1963. I'll never forget the neighborhood, the 3-story walkup my parents, 3 siblings and I lived in, the cracked sidewalks, the buildings that were just beginning to crumble. My grandparents lived a few blocks down, on Greene Avenue, and it...
