But still I wish I could have seen it back then when the rails were still in use.<br />It must have been so different from today. THe whole area around this park is changing. They have art galleries everywhere, very expensive apartment buildings, I don't think there have ever been as much tourists in that part of NY before the High Line park was there.Nellieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280581604747080077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708390314038829034.post-80361508073881949682012-04-08T21:11:43.051-04:002012-04-08T21:11:43.051-04:00Yes, I know, during summer it is hard to walk arou...Yes, I know, during summer it is hard to walk around<br />Best to go early in the morning or late at night :-)Nellieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280581604747080077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708390314038829034.post-61668895641453785382012-04-08T21:10:26.676-04:002012-04-08T21:10:26.676-04:00Yes Wayne, you are absolutely right, unfortunately...Yes Wayne, you are absolutely right, unfortunately I can get quite crowded.

But it is a beauitful addition to all the other parks we have in the city.<br />This park is not a Frank Gehry project, but the white building on the far left op the photo is.

I can imagine you are glad to hear that they are going to do something similar in Townsville, will "your" park be above streetlevel as well?Nellieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280581604747080077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2708390314038829034.post-84836138875544158132012-04-06T18:56:56.954-04:002012-04-06T18:56:56.954-04:00Interesting place to recycle for a city park!

I was surprised to learn that my home town of Townsville has borrowed the concept and are building a similar thing.
