The Village Voice on the yuppie rape of the High Line:
Although the landscape architects expect to use existing vegetation as a guide for the park's greenery, concrete walkways will replace the uninterrupted fields of tall grasses—lush and green in the summer or dried golden like wheat in the fall. Chances are much of the Chinese bittersweet, with its pert orange berries, will be replaced by a plant that won't aggressively overtake its neighbors. And the trees struggling upward, which have dug their roots deep into the railroad bed, will be rooted out. "A guide for the park's greenery"--you gotta love it. They're killing the vegetation and completely replacing it in order to save it. That's the American Way, in Vietnam, Iraq, and limousine lib NYC. Pardon the invective, but fuck all y'all.
maybe they will plant some agent orange trees
Sad indeed -- it's always amazing to me how little pockets of wildlife can survive even in the most urban of environments like NYC.
Hey Tom, do you use iTunes? If so, send me an email and I'll send you an early Christmas present (I'm not sure what your email address is). Thanks...

G. K. and I have already had the iTunes discussion. I have the free media player, just no pod, and will email you.
