The 606
Things have evolved beautifully since the 606—originally known as the Bloomingdale Trail—was a 2.7-mile elevated railroad. Now it’s a destination for bikers, joggers, dog-walkers, artists, designers and the neighborhood crowd place to read your copy of Newcity, eat a slice of pizza while people-watching, experience the greenery and even stumble upon public art. But walking across its twists, turns and breathtaking viewpoints you realize that most importantly, the trail makes you feel like you’re a part of the city as much as the city is part of you.
