everything old is new again
apparently
way back when
in the late 1700s
george washington
lived in a rental house on cherry street
not far from the battery
the battery
lies
at the south end of manhattan
more recently
the battery
redubbed
battery park
extended
up along the westside of manhattan
segueing
into
hudson river park
which
is the last leg
of
riverside park
it was bordered
to the east
by the westside highway
(route 9w)
but
things change
while staying the same
the battery
spawned
battery park city
and
the park itself
which
also has a marina
the westside highway
once elevated over a cobblestone street
was torn down
the cobblestones beneath it
replaced
its new name
west street
battery park city
likely
won't change its name
but
what was once the battery
is
now
once again
the battery
if i haven't bored you yet
you can read
more
about
i can see battery park city
from my office aerie
last time
i actually walked
along there
was
a year ago july
i hope to get there again soon
it sounds like a nice way
to spend a fridaycation
its got some spectacular views
