New Yorkers, especially those living in or around Chelsea, will all say the High Line was once that old, black, overgrown, above ground rail road track that should have been knocked down a long time ago. But Joshua David and Robert Hammond saw the beauty in this nugget of history and saw their idea of an elevated park come to life.
Now the second part of the High Line is finally open just in time for a sweltering New York summer. I wish I was still living in the city to take advantage of this amazing above ground pocket of nature. There's something about greenery contrasting with the industrial buildings of Chelsea that makes the High Line a refreshing change from the usual. The High Line, which was an abandoned rail road track, passes through buildings and on top of streets to sustain its history and give New Yorkers an escape.
