I wonder if the Buddy System has ever failed because both Buddies were killed/kidnapped,drowned etc.
I'm of two minds about the High Line conversion. I'd much rather see it being used for rail purposes, but as that's almost certainly not going to happen I suppose it's better off being converted to a park than just rotting away.
question: what were there more of at the bike kill... people on bikes, or people with digital slr's?
seriously. this shit is getting out of hand. how many pictures does the internet need of a certain event?
Yes, let's spend millions of federal money on the High Line - a park which will only serve to enhance the property values of multimillionaires in the West Village. Brilliant!
The High Line runs through the West Village? The only purpose of the park is to enhance West Village property owners' wealth? You're free to criticize the park all you want but your criticisms might find more traction if they were reality-based.
