sorry kid, but this is a great idea, graphiti only involves a few select people that partake in it, a park three stories above the ground and 1.5 miles long will be a good thing for everyone.

this is bullshit, this is a graphiti mecca and should be left alone

Hi High Liners, I'm an Aussie Railway Enthusiast and have come across your High Line efforts through a couple of searches and your Website. Look like an ambitious ptroject you guys have. I dont suppose though the High Line will ever see trains again? Lools like it was an interesting Railway.

Would love to see a DVD of it in operation as a railway! :-D

This is an ambitious project slated to open in the Fall. It has always been scheduled to open in the Fall. It is currently SUMMER. Geez.

[mongoose7x]

It has barely been started.

I was in NYC in March this year and thought it was due to open this summer. Is it still not finished yet?

[mongoose7x]

This is all well and good but it is taking YEARS to get this off the ground (so to speak). It's frustrating that NYC can't get their act together on this, or the new World Trade Center, or the 2nd avenue subway line but they can drop 15 million on those ridiculous waterfalls on the east river without a second thought!

[skaterboirocker]

that was really well done. I really like the highline and I can't wait till it becomes a park. Imagine walking down a beautiful field surrounded by flickering skyscrapers at night.

Good work Friends of the High Line!

Dear bl.,

Thank you for your response; you talk of Gaze Theory, nowadays it has to match the non-subtleties of the opportunist mugger, or the vandal..

Camera evidence is admissable as evidence in court; compared with the timid stay-at-homes who may only gaze at the potential event, to re-inforce their original idea.

With so many cameras around, there is always the new problem, of being fasionably dressed.

cheers.

from,

del-boy.
