An old Ford factory, a railway being demolished, a disused military base: who would have thought that places like these would become the tourist destinations that attract hundreds of tourists? Yet in America has happened. In New York, for example, the old High Line railroad, which crosses the west side of Manhattan, from Gansevoort Street to 34th street, was saved from demolition to be turned into a city park.
The work began several years ago and in 2009 was inaugurated the first part of the park, which is now very famous in the "cool" in Manhattan and is visited daily by dozens of tourists. For those who are traveling to Philadelphia, however, you do not miss the old SMV Hamilton Building, an old warehouse with adjoining car showroom that has now been transformed into a huge gallery of fine arts.
The building houses shops because of art, literary cafes, galleries and many art exhibitions. From its beautiful terrace is also possible to enjoy a coffee overlooking the famous Liberty Bell. Moving on the west coast, in California, visitors can encounter in the historic Ford Motor Company Assembly Plant in Richmond, a former factory and assembly of parts of Ford cars, which now has been completely renovated.
Since the nineties, in fact, is home to the Visitors Centre of the Historical Museum of American production during the Second World War. A curious place, an ancient flavor, which helps tell the story of the great American industry. In this journey through the hidden wonders one can not conclude with its San Francisco and Park Presidio.
The huge green area, open to the public free of charge 24 hours at 24, contains numerous species of flora and fauna and attracts thousands of birdwatchers. Inside the park there are now shops, restaurants with stunning views over the bay, nature trails and even private residences. It's amazing to think that for decades the Park Presidio El Presidio was instead, a strong military frontier in the eighteenth century and in subsequent years, a military base of the U.S.
