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

who has captured
and posted this artistic question for all to see on Citynoise does not drop his links.
