You’re welcome! I would’ve loved it as a kid as well, going to school of a rock pile and having so many to play on in the park.ĭoes any one actually own “Rat Rock”?

I wish I could’ve been a student to brag that I went to school on a literal giant rock 🪨! Amazing history from this blog again. The Bronx still has all the hills and rocky ledges that were paved over and smoothed out in much of Manhattan. Yes, I’ve seen those stairs in real life and in the Joker. The Central and Northwest Bronx has a tremendous number of rocky outcroppings as well, necessitating the use of large outdoor stairwells between streets and buildings, as recently shown by Joaquin Phoenix dancing on such steps in the “Joker” film. Many of these outcroppings were blasted away, or they became part of neighborhood parks-like Morningside and Riverside. One reason the Upper West Side was among the last to be urbanized on Manhattan Island had to do with the large number of rock outcroppings impeding construction. Central Park became the city’s great park not just for its centralized location but because it happened to be a rocky area unsuitable for farming and building construction. While there is Manhattan Schist all over the island, could it be that there were more large outcroppings uptown than downtown–which, of course, would have made it more difficult to build or, as the post, extend the street grid?ĭefinitely geology was destiny when it came to the development of New York City. I wonder, however, whether topography also had something to do with it. We all know that lower Manhattan developed earlier than the rest of the island mainly because of its location.

Manhattan schist is pretty tough rock-it keeps our buildings well anchored, according to the experts. Nyc, however is only about 33 feet and has a huge number of humongous buildings and we never hear about it’s stability. It has a median above sea level of about 100 feet. This is so interesting! I was just having a conversation recently about Florida always being talked about being at risk of breaking off and floating away or just drowning.
