Which reminds me...I must email you re: phone numbers and meetings!<br /><br />In an oldish Reader's Digest, there was an article about one of those big places in California, taking a part of the city and turning into something special, with cafes and so on...no vehicles allowed. Yay for green places.<br /><br /><br /><br />neena maiya (guyana gyal)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01358313821005038118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-49885854125217833752012-11-26T07:44:36.726+00:002012-11-26T07:44:36.726+00:00Gadjo: thanks for that. what a great link.

I have heard all about Black Friday because of all the American blogs I follow and I've noticed that Amazon.co.uk are now promoting it too. Mind you it's much easier than walking around the shops. :DLL Cool Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13916666100971008775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-80940377712467451112012-11-25T12:26:52.785+00:002012-11-25T12:26:52.785+00:00I have never seen The High Line but blog friend El...I have never seen The High Line but blog friend Elizabeth in her "About New York" blog posts about it often. She has three blogs. One is "Buster's Blog" about life from her dogs point of view and The Square Ones follow him.<br /><br />What a wonderful idea The High Line is. To take back a unused track and make it useful and beautiful park area.<br />I think this would work on any old unused train tracks in any major city. <br /><br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-91438654973611447142012-11-25T10:50:13.689+00:002012-11-25T10:50:13.689+00:00Granny Annie: it was 1970 when I was in R.I. so th...Granny Annie: it was 1970 when I was in R.I. so that is last century. I never make any secret of my age; I was born in March 1930 - I'll leave you to do the math:)<br />It is very laudable to look up words. UB is a blogging friend who introduced me to a marvellouw writer - Jane Gardham.<br />So glad you enjoyed the High Line - it was news to me too.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529798893653033970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-21335218085120738412012-11-25T10:25:56.160+00:002012-11-25T10:25:56.160+00:00First of all I had to question your age since it h...First of all I had to question your age since it has been a "century" since you visited Rhode Island. Second I had to look up the word "vituperation". Third, is the author of Unbearable Banishment a relative of yours? Loved researching the High Line in NYC. Had never heard of it before. Have never been to NY State much less to NYC. Great education this AM.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.com
