      As a native New Yorker, who used to live there in Brooklyn, and now lives in mid Georgia , I know these places he's walking through well most of them and it is such a treat. Yes I also watch it on a projection screen super big and it's like I'm walking with him. Almost like being there yourself❤❤❤❤👍🏿

    I like the idea that land is not wasted. The community planted vegetables for their own consumption and they don't need to buy them. Thanks!

    4:50 it's always scary hearing a train horn while walking on the tracks... but the invisible groaning train from hell is terrifying!

    Good to see you revisited the abandoned Montauk cutoff again. Something spooky about that place! Another visit in a next winter's snowstorm might give a completely different perspective. Thanks!

    This is an all volunteer run community garden. You can visit the website here www.smilinghogsheadranch.org/
    The gardeners and other folks in the area are advocating for a larger project that (except for being sited on vacant rail tracks) is nothing like the Highline (mostly because we want to see ACTIVE uses like education, urban farming, renewable enrgy creation and composting happen on this site while the Highline is passive, only allowing walking and sitting). Info on that proposed project can be found here: dutchkillsloop.org/

    Some gardens and sometimes it's like people left this places and nature have started to live there by itself 😊
    It's sometimes reminds postapocalypse view of the city... 😊

    I’ve lived in all the boroughs and never heard of this place. Is this public or private property. I’m guessing maybe LIRR owns it.

    • @ActionKid
      @ActionKid  5 років тому +2

      It’s private property owned by the MTA. The ranch is open to the public.

    • @glopezsez
      @glopezsez 5 років тому

      It's MTA/LIRR property known as the Degnon Terminal. used to be private tracks own by industrialists and transferred to MTA around the 1980 and not used since. Us gardeners have a Garden License Agreement to use the land and we have chosen not to build a fence, our hours are dawn to dusk. We have three rules: 1. No smoking or fire of any sort. 2. Don't harvest anything you did not help grow. 3. Bring positivity and leave the place better than you found it. More info at our website www.smilinghogsheadranch.org/
