High Line Construction Chronicles: Caledonia Looming

Tuesday, June 19, 2007, by Lockhart

From the website of new Chelsea development the Caledonia: "Think Saturday. It could start by meeting your fitness guide in front of the Caledonia at the new High Line park, ready to run 5 miles with you and your dog." Given the latest view of the massive looming development—snapped by Will Femia, and the first we've seen with glass installed—they're living up to that promise. We think.

HIGH LINE BONUS: An intrepid soul hiked the High Line on Monday, and chronicles the experience in photos. Gives a good sense of the upper third of the High Line that rings the Hudson Yards site, plus some in-progress shots from further south. [CityNoise]

those photos taken of the high line shows a huge lack of security for the LIRR / NJ Transit yards and tracks entering Penn Station.

How will they keep the pigeons from coming back and roosting under that overpass?

to anyone who has lived in NYC for any length
of time....and believes in media glamour...
this glamourous dwelling is sandwiched between
drug ridden projects and on going manhattan fruit
trucks which go all night long...you had better
market to an ongoing group of young, new and hopefully sedated want-a bees...unbelievebable

another words take awalk before you talk
