Tribute to underground Destroyed Artwork here :http://www.citynoise.org/article/8210


If you went to Columbia Univeristy  one of your rights of passage was to go into a  Robert Moses built tunnel   from underneath  Riverside drive,a tunnel that ran  up along the New York Palisades ( generally uphill  from 110sth street to Wave Hill  ,Westchester County and beyond)

The tunnel  was supposed to make it easier to cross the Henry Hudson parkway, and its still not easy to cross it- even with the bridges at 158 street and 155th street for the West side Bike Path. But few people know that  being on the other side of the highway was never the goal- Amtrak  uses it to run the Vermonter, and graffitti artists used it to run political commentary - some of the finest artwork  referencing  http://www.citynoise.org/article/8210 Goya, Norman Rockwell and its all gone now. Lets hope this excellent blogger
     who  has captured 
by Luna Park on Citynoise.org http://www.citynoise.org/article/11697
and posted this artistic question for all to see  on  Citynoise  does not  drop his links.
