“POST CARD CON’T

High Line2

The city is always an inspiring place….and the High Line adds a whole new level to things to see and be inspired by………as I said ….it’s a FEAST for the EYE! There are a few things in the photos above I want to point out. First, the photo at the bottom corner on the right is of a little white building. A model friend of Jac and me used to live there. At the time the rent was extremely reasonable. She had a great view of the rail road tracts, but that was beforeĀ  the revitalization took place. Her view was of a derelict abandoned tract that was overgrown with weeds and a catch all for any debris blowing around. I must say it too had its’ own kind of beauty. She has since married and moved and I can not imagine what the rent is for her small three room apt….There was a man playing a sax [photo to the left]. He was OK, but what was funny about him was…..in the 90 degree temperature….he was playing Christmas songs….I guess he was trying to keep everyone inĀ  a cool frame of mind. The old buildings and the new, plus all of the new construction is shown clearly in these photos. I can’t imagine what this area is going to look like in 10 years……….A new attraction has been created, but history is always evident when you see the “old tracts” which have been incorporated in the new design of the “High Line”.
