Washington Heights to Yankee Stadium via the High Bridge



There is a very well done series of articles with plenty of images chronicling a trip through Washington Heights, Highbridge Park, The High Bridge, the Highbridge section of the Bronx, and, finally, Yankee Stadium.  This highlights many of the lesser known parts of the journey for anyone interested in taking the walk for themselves, or, for that matter, for just documenting, historically, what this area was like in 2015 for all future generations that might be interested to know.

Here are the links to the two parts in Forgotten New York.
