Doug is joined by Joshua David and Robert Hammond, co-founders of Friends of the High Line, the non-profit group responsible for the High Line Park in New York City. Their new book "High Line: The Inside Story of New York City's Park in the Sky" tells the story of how they led the transformation of a derelict elevated railway into a grand -- and beloved -- open space.
