Since I've been away

Пока меня не было, в Н-Й открыли несколько долгожданных проектов:

1) Открытие 1ой очереди парка The High Line (ссылка на мою старую заметку о парке)

The High Line project is something of a New York fairytale, given that it started with a couple of guys who met at a community board meeting in 1999 — Joshua David, a writer, and Robert Hammond, a painter — and discovered they shared a fervent interest in saving the abandoned railroad trestle, which had been out of commission since 1980 and was slated for demolition. Thus began a decade-long saga that involved rescuing the structure from demolition by the Giuliani administration and enlisting the Bloomberg administration in its preservation and renovation.

2) Перекрытие Бродвея для постоянной пешеходной зоны (ссылка на мою старую заметку об этом)
