The highline was an old rail/freight line that ran on elevated tracks (the HIGHline) through what was once the meatpacking district in Manhattan (nyc).
a lot of great classic graffiti exists up around the whole thing, and most of it is probably going to be completely buffed very soon; it is being renovated into a park, apartments, hotel, etc.
i had only looked down at it from some surrounding buildings, i never got to walk the whole thing. soon anyone will be able to get up onto it whenever they want, but surely most of its character will be lost.
all these flicks are stolen, but i figure someone on here will have some of their own.
