The East side gets no love.

After class on Wednesday, I decided to do a quick run up the East River greenway into Harlem. What a bad idea because the greenway is closed (once again) at 79 street, so my run became a back and forth run. I hate changing my running plans at the last minute.
The route ... Sorta
The rant
This supposed greenway has been "in progress" since I moved to NYC -BACK in 2002!!! The West side has its nice greenway with beautiful sights into New Jersey and various activities and parks. Where is ours (although I now live in Brooklyn, I will always be an east sider at heart)? I firgure by now, 2016, there would have been a continuous greenway that would go around the entire island of Manhattan. This probably happen in 3019, if the island of Manhattan is not underwater by that time. But, I guess you gotta make lemonade out of lemons.
What a beautiful site, huh?
Roosevelt Island ( "the little apple in the big apple"), the East River and the Queensborough Bridge. Hey, you can see my old apartment building from here.
This was a quick update because the mobile app did not save the previous draft, and I did not feel like rewriting the entire post.
