I used to walk the Highline alone in the very early 00's. You could access the track where it started across the street from the Jacob Javits center. There was a parking lot, with an attendant, and the tracks literally started there. On my first exploration there in 2001, I simply walked past the attendant and hopped up onto the tracks. I thought he would try to stop me but he was completely disinterested. I was able to walk from there all the way to Gansevoort, but couldn't exit anywhere, I simply turned around and walked all the way back.

It was absolutely incredible. I visited frequently in the warm months of 2002 and 2003. There was so much moss covering certain portions of the tracks that you could comfortably lay down, and I did.

It was exactly as he describes it, like the concentrated essence of a grungy New York, a true time capsule that Nature had reclaimed. It was like having an entire, wild landscape all to oneself, for hours on end. Only twice did I ever run into anyone up there. Once was a photographer, and we simply nodded at each other in knowing satisfaction at the glory of the place. The other time I came across 2 graffiti writers scoping the place out.

I twas a truly beautiful, raw environment, and it did take some agility to cross certain portions. There were old train parts and equipment blocking certain areas, as well as old turnstiles at one point, which seemed out of place, because as far as I know the public never rode these lines.

Corrugated barriers had been erected at certain points along the line at various times, but at each barrier some brave soul had simply cut holes into the metal to allow access. 

It was amazing to spend entire afternoons up there, walking in the sunshine above the city, alone.

I swore to myself that I wouldn't visit the new and improved Highline when it opened, but my girlfriend persuaded me, and I really wished I hadn't. 

It was a shallow, sanitized version of what nature had wrought. No comparison to the original.

Seeing all of the development that has been justified in the name of the new Highline, I almost wish it had been torn down. What seemed like a noble gesture to save it, turned into a nightmare of over development.

A damn shame. They just can't leave some things alone.

@Goggla, when it initially opened the High Line was not the mobbed, almost unbearable high end park it is today. It of course also was quite different from the park captured here, or that Caleo describes, or the one pictured in the photos that Ken Mac features on the pre-renovation blog he links to.


The new High Line a beautiful park, though heavily sanitized and corporatized, so I get why locals and tourists love it, but the changes it has helped to enable, which I think many people didn't realize were part of its founders' goals, have had a profound effect on the surrounding neighborhood.


From a sleepy, almost forgotten, still heavily industrial neighborhood, up through the early 2000s, far west Chelsea became the gallery district, and now, like SoHo, some of the galleries themselves are being driven out by the elite housing and service bubble. 


Every other new store in this area seems to cater only to the 1%; I wonder how long some of the few remaining smaller businesses can hang on. They have no government protection, and if they don't own their buildings (and even if they do), they're subject to the whims of the ever-inflating real estate market, which is being puffed up by the increasing superriches of the 1%, and, as the New York Times just reported, by billions of dollars worth of foreign wealth, a great deal of from corruption.


It's good to see that old High Line. It like so many things, captured in film and video format, will be all we'll have left of the Manhattan that existed before the billionaires, whom Michael Bloomberg explicitly said he wanted more of and pushed for, have taken over.

I'm very sympathetic with the comments lamenting the loss of "gritty," "industrial," even "analog" NYC, having grown up here (b. 1963) during the Abe Beame years and hearing Predient Ford tell us to "drop dead."


That said, what were the practical alternatives to the old high line? Letting it corrode too much becomes a health and neighborhood hazard, and tearing it down would have eliminated much needed public space and simply paved the way for luxury development anyway. Public-private efforts like this one bring in enough investment and development that NYC can avoid times when the federal government either abandons us or takes too much interest in running the show. 


Besides, if you stop walking down the cattle-chute High Line now and sit on a bench to chat or read, it can be truly delightful.

"It would be a blessing since the jump playing football everything has been a blessing for me and I never take none of it for granted. When that coach took me in for the first time, I always said he's the first blessing and winning an award like this... I wouldn't take it for granted."

These combined increases in representation combined with a roughly 20% increase in overall undergraduate enrollment compared with a decade ago (due in part to the opening of Pauli Murray and Benjamin Franklin Colleges in 2017) mean that the number of Pell-eligible first-year students this fall was 130% higher than it was a decade ago; the number of first-generation first-year students is nearly 115% higher; and the number of students of color in the first-year class has increased by 96%.

The junior surged to win the MHSAA Division 2 state championship in the 100-yard freestyle at 46.45 seconds after being seeded fourth heading into finals. He also took ninth in the 200 freestyle (1:43.86) to help the Dutch take fourth overall.

Characterized as a class clown and a slacker in the original series, Joey was known for his trademark fedora and Hawaiian shirts and humorous, immature attitude. However, he shows a more sensitive, caring side when his friends are in a crisis, such as his attempts to comfort Wheels after his parents' death in a vehicular accident. By Degrassi Junior High's third season, he begins an on-and-off relationship with Caitlin, which continues throughout Degrassi High. He is a central character in the television movie School's Out, that concluded the series, in which he cheats on Caitlin with another girl over the summer after he and Caitlin had an argument. By The Next Generation, Joey had a wife who died in the 1990s, and a stepson, who he takes in due to the latter's abusive father.

Pat Mastroianni was the first teenage actor to audition for the then in-development Degrassi Junior High in 1985.[1][2] At the time, he was a grade nine student who was shy and had poor grades.[3] Towards the end of the year, his school principal announced over the PA system that a production company had dropped off audition forms for a children's television series that was to be filmed over the summer; the flyer specifically read "No Experience Necessary".[2][4] Mastroianni was the only student to have taken a form.[4] For his audition, Mastroianni aimed to portray the type of person he had hoped to be.[3] He acted "confident and cocky", claiming to be a B-plus student.[3] Show co-creator Linda Schuyler allegedly declared "That's our Joey.", and was subsequently given the role.[3] Prior to Mastroianni, Billy Parrott auditioned for Joey Jeremiah, but was instead given his own character, Shane McKay.[5] Mastroianni later cited Michael J. Fox's role as Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties as his main acting reference and motivation.[6]

At the conclusion of season 2 of Degrassi Junior High, Mr. Raditch informs Joey that he has failed grade eight. This news crushes Joey's spirits, as it means that he cannot join the rest of his friends in high school. Over-crowding of the high school, however, causes Joey's former classmates to take their grade 9 classes (aside from laboratory sciences) at Degrassi Junior High, and Joey thus continues to associate with them. A silver lining to repeating the eighth grade is becoming a classmate of Caitlin Ryan, an intellectual student. Working together on a class presentation, the characters develop an on-and-off relationship with each other as the series progressed.

On the day before their combined nine- and ten-year high school reunion, Joey attempts to sell a car to his old friend, Lucy Fernandez who asks if he is coming and hints that his wife would not have wanted him to become a recluse. Joey agrees to take Lucy out for a test drive, and drops her off at Degrassi Community School. There, Joey spots Caitlin, and they contemplate how they've changed. He decides to go with them for drinks later, but still remains unconfirmed for the reunion. At the bar, his friends reminisce about old times when his television advertisement for his car dealership airs. The advertisement showed Joey ripping his shirt off, resulting in a blunt critique from Caitlin's new fianc, Keith. A movie director, Keith initiates friction between himself and Joey by admonishing the latter to "avoid the shifty, used-car-salesman vibe." Caitlin responds that he was a total "ham" during high school, and still is. Joey commiserates with Caitlin the next night after she discovers Keith trying to seduce Allison Hunter and demeaning Caitlin. Toying with her discarded engagement ring from Keith, Caitlin asks Joey if it reminds him of that day eleven years earlier at the beach.

The early reform actions taken by Mr. Jeremiah laid the foundation for a series of transformational initiatives to preserve and expand affordable housing, revitalize neighborhoods through equitable development, and promote economic and educational opportunities for PHA residents and clients.

"If I was going to look at it from last year, I would take Becton, Wills and Wirfs over the top two guys in this year's draft class. But I think all five of those guys are really good players," Last year, I had Wirfs as the No. 3 guy, and he ended up playing better than everybody else. So that speaks to just how good that group was last year." e24fc04721
