| Description |
I am overnighting in New York City on this day - my first return to New York City in the 21st Century, after having called it home until 1998. As soon as I entered Manhattan, I knew I had to come here, to Ground Zero. I still had fresh memories of visiting the World Trade Center complex during the 1990s, so its destruction was still difficult to believe. Its underground shopping mall was one of my favorite hangouts, the rooftop observatory of the South Tower was my favorite vantage point for city views, and the North Tower lobby had airline ticketing offices where I priced tickets to Los Angeles on United Airlines, often ending up on the very aircraft that ended up slamming into the South Tower on September 11th, 2001. In August 2004, Ground Zero was a busy construction site, being prepared for the erection of the Freedom Tower replacing the Twin Towers. I would return here in October 2011, to find the 9/11 Memorial occupying the footprint of the Twin Towers, and several new replacement skyscrapers going up around it. |
