  1. Wow. That is truly tragic.

  2. THE REAL REASON IS TO KEEP THE PUNKS FROM THROWING JUNK ON TOP OF CARS ON {BOB MOSES FOLLEY}!

  3. these pictures are painful to see. this is why we must correct this historic wrong!!!

  4. A CRIME! And this is the opinion of someone who was born in ‘60 who never had the chance to see the sheer beauty of the Parkway. That chance was taken by those with little to no forsight or respect for the beauty that “was” Humboldt Parkway. It robbed future generations also. SHAME ON ALL OF THEM, PAST AND THOSE IN THE PRESENT WHO WANT TO CONTINUE TO DESTROY THE CITY BIT BY BIT. WHAT’S NEXT, THE CENTRAL TERMINAL!!!

  5. I lived at 517 Humboldt Pkwy before this expressway was contemplated. The neighborhood kids played in the park and it was stunning in its beauty. This was all about graft corruption kickbacks and politics. We dont need to point fingers at the bananna republics -we are every bit as corrupt.
