Hello, I’m Robert. This is my travel journal, primarily focusing on travel in and around New York City using public transportation along with articles about New York City Transit. The name of the blog is inspired by my black Sprinter van, Cinder, in which I traveled with my girlfriend, Susan, for several months in 2025. Susan and I now live in New York City. The name of the van is inspired by a type of material often used for paths. The Way is a reference to “traveling this way.”
Robert Moses - NYC Impact
While there is much controversy about Robert Moses, the impact he had on New York City is undeniable. He built almost all of the roads and bridges that circumnavigate the city. He built or renovated numerous parks throughout the city and his projects had a huge impact on many neighborhoods. Therefore, a Moses project is visible just about anywhere. The Triborough Bridge, the main arches of which are pictured above, is, perhaps, the most iconic This is a series of articles about those projects and neighborhoods, based on my reading of The Power Broker, by Robert Caro.
