Friends of the High Line Founders Wall Ceremony
On a beautiful windy spring day, the group of people who were most instrumental in saving the old abandoned elevated railroad tracks become an urban park called the High Line gathered together to celebrate the unveiling of the recognition plaques for permanent installation. Acting as community relations consultants in New York City, Capalino was proud to be there.
The plaques are on the wall inside the building just south of 14th St. and 10th Ave.
