NYC.<div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Central Park has been through some changes in its time. I was recently shocked to see on a TV programme that in the 1960's and 1970's the park looked very run down and dismal. I found it quite shocking and hard to believe after visiting New York City for the first time in 2013 and saw Central Park in all its glory. I fell in love with the wonderful scenery, flowers, trees, greenery, walkways, wildlife, water areas, bridges and community spirit, that is Central Park today. </span></div><div>All thanks to the Central Park Conservancy, a non profit company which have built up the park through the years since the 1980's and are continuing to maintain its high standard with its many workers/volunteers and organisers.</div><div>There is a video telling the story of how the transformation came about at <a href="http://www.centralparknyc.org/about/about-cpc/" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">http://www.centralparknyc.org/about/about-cpc/</a></div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sA59_gH3nGk/VsxA7l_zr5I/AAAAAAAAAuw/9UMcJg1YYXw/s640/blogger-image-1063943524.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sA59_gH3nGk/VsxA7l_zr5I/AAAAAAAAAuw/9UMcJg1YYXw/s640/blogger-image-1063943524.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPRfo6IwALA/VsxA8ARIhEI/AAAAAAAAAu0/7Lj94BvOoIw/s640/blogger-image--1202512073.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FPRfo6IwALA/VsxA8ARIhEI/AAAAAAAAAu0/7Lj94BvOoIw/s640/blogger-image--1202512073.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HnZxOh9l1-g/VsxA-F5YW8I/AAAAAAAAAvA/ucKKKE2FOvA/s640/blogger-image--802954140.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HnZxOh9l1-g/VsxA-F5YW8I/AAAAAAAAAvA/ucKKKE2FOvA/s640/blogger-image--802954140.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZzUv9MDSctI/VsxA9do89OI/AAAAAAAAAu8/HsS8m8fa7gU/s640/blogger-image--15280900.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZzUv9MDSctI/VsxA9do89OI/AAAAAAAAAu8/HsS8m8fa7gU/s640/blogger-image--15280900.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4W_fjwLift4/VsxA8ynSGkI/AAAAAAAAAu4/YvDtwkMRJOg/s640/blogger-image--1554557384.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4W_fjwLift4/VsxA8ynSGkI/AAAAAAAAAu4/YvDtwkMRJOg/s640/blogger-image--1554557384.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14753170005344091313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049965601304855901.post-80883815726625177872016-02-18T04:43:00.001-08:002016-02-18T04:45:57.144-08:002016 Fashion Week in New York City.<div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">As New York Fashion week February 2016, draws to a close, and you want to see what's been happening, go to Facebook NYFW, their official page, for photos, videos and news.</span></div><div><br></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14753170005344091313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049965601304855901.post-64847550852451331132016-02-13T10:01:00.001-08:002016-02-13T10:01:15.390-08:00Central Park Ice Event Cancelled, Expected Extreme Temperatures.<div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Expected cold weather has prevented Central Park from holding its Ice Festival scheduled for Valentines weekend, high winds and extreme temperatures are forecast.</span></div><div>Sadly in January the Winter Jam NYC was also cancelled, nature made sure New Yorkers had plenty of snow to play with in Central Park!</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14753170005344091313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049965601304855901.post-61106217462141416952016-02-02T03:39:00.001-08:002016-02-02T03:41:33.334-08:00Finding Kids Activities in NYC.<div>I<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> came across a great web site for finding activities for children in New York City....... </span></div><div><a href="http://mommypoppins.com/kids/nyc-golist-best-things-to-do-with-kids-all-year">http://mommypoppins.com/kids/nyc-golist-best-things-to-do-with-kids-all-year</a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14753170005344091313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049965601304855901.post-5700052356525116912016-01-21T09:45:00.001-08:002016-01-21T09:46:47.316-08:00Be Inspired by New York Road Runners.
