New York's Famous High Line, 7/4 2008

Before gentrification ran amok, west Manhattan from 34th to 14th was a weird, dangerous, and er, unique place, instead of the strip mall for the uber rich it has become.

Love your juxtaposition of the terms strip mall and uber rich.

Ah the despoiling gentry! Been half a step ahead or behind of their swarming my entire life. . .

I am still glad that the high line is saved for demolition and offers a nice walk for everyone.

full of depth, in more ways than one.

Have you ever been inside that building in your photo? The one with the rounded corners? It's fantastic.

It has/had elevators that you could back a tractor trailer into and then lift the entire truck (probably without the cab) up to the appropriate floor to unload.

A very interesting sample of Industrial Art Deco. I love it.

That's just the kind of place I'd walk barefoot.

Love this shot and reminds me of visiting my grandparents on the west side. That green is divine!
