I attend Baruch College and am from Long Island, NY. I wrote this blog about the High Line because I love how these abandoned railroad tracks combine nature with city in such an amazing way. I love Manhattan, but sometimes the lack of trees is depressing since where I live, there is an abundance of nature everywhere you look. The High Line allows me to see and still be connected to the bustling city life while at the same time be away from it, enjoying all of the different trees and flowers in so many beautiful colors.
