The <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/high-line/">High Line</a> has been a gathering place for all kinds of characters since it opened in 2009, and now it's even attracted an <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/invasive-cockroach-found-nyc-cold-21144400">invasive cockroach species</a> from Asia. The newly found bug was spotted at the elevated park and researchers are saying it is the first time the insect has been reported in the U.S. Unlike its American cousins, the newcomer is annoyingly resistant to cold, meaning it can even survive outdoors during freezing temperatures.
