Congratulations to all who worked so hard to make the High Line a possibility. I visited Chelsea Market last year and went on a walking tour hosted by Bob at Verve. I took lots of pics, including the High Line. At the time I didn't realize it was a work in progress until this morning, when I saw it mentioned on the Weather Channel. I love this area of NYC. Keep up the great work! God Bless, Lorraine
