NYC – The High Line

An abandoned bit of above ground freight train line has been turned into a walking path with gardens. This is very beautiful, and I recommend it. If you don’t have children, I recommend the early walk (before 9am), because there were heaps of other tourists, and it did get a bit crowded at times (although, not as crowded as the Brooklyn Bridge!). Actually, I recommend doing things early all the time if at all possible.

Developers wanted to pull down the high line and build on it, before it was turned into community space, and now, they’re happily advertising that their building overlooks the High Line. This is probably a really good example of adjusting to change, and finding the advantage in all situations.
