[Fredslist] Kudos to Josh Zinder -- Thanks to Marc Halpert for organizing this!

[John Seiffer]

I have to echo all the comments about the HighLine walk. Josh did a great
job of explaining the history of the line - along with some old photos on
his ipad that he shared. Then he told us about the different sections of the
walk - along with why different plants were put in at different locations,
and why the walk was designed the way it is.

And of course he explained the architecture in the area - much of which
would not be where it is, or would not look like it does if the Highline
were not there. So we learned about the effect on the city past, present and
even some things that will be happening in the future. He even had a handout
for us with several of the buildings pictured.

Also thanks to Marc Halpert for coordinating it all.
