The High Line project was officially unveiled at a rail raising (not groundbreaking as Mike Bloomberg pointed out) today with New York’s senior and junior senators, Christine Quinn, Jerry Nadler, Scott Stringer, Dan Doctoroff, Betsy Gotbaum and celebs Edward Norton and Kevin Bacon.
All the elected officials praised the project, and Chuck pointed out that an Oreo cookie factory used to occupy one of the buildings that looms over the project.
“I doubt Oreo cookies are even made in America anymore,” he said.
