Edward and I took a trip to Roosevelt Island last
week.
The last time we visited we checked out the south side of
the island,
so this time we thought we'd head north and check out the
inhabited part of the island.
It really is such a strange place -- a one-horse town just
a stone's throw from Manhattan.
Of course their days of isolation are coming to an
end.
It started when they added a subway stop.
Now they are in the process of destroying the old hospital
structures so that they may be replaced by the new graduate school .
I have a feeling the natives will be totally shell shocked
when the students arrive.
As long as we were visiting we took time out to do our
favorite thing -- sit along the shaded promenade and enjoy the view of
Manhattan -- which now includes the Freedom Tower.
But on this visit a bit of serendipity trumped it as our
favorite moment when we ran into Carolyn Maloney - our Congresswomen. We decided to drop our NYC cool long enough
for a photo!
Oh,
and here's a link to some additional photos of Roosevelt Island posted
previously.
Cheers
