That didn't work out exactly as planned because they were doing some remodelling out there and that particular section of the wall was "unavailable" - no problem - it's a quick trip from Phoenix, we'll just check it out next time we're in the neighborhood.
Oh well, still a very worthwhile place to visit. I enjoyed the thought of walking on the same floor so many people passed through on their way to hopefully a better life - it made me want to take a photo of the floor...
and oddly, the ceiling. Isn't it remarkable?
walking through the city I saw some wonderful doors (notice no handle on the outside - interesting)...
and cool lighting...
speaking of lighting - Grand Central Station has fantastic lighting fixtures, man do I love train stations...
You can also learn valuable lessons while walking around. Lessons like when you get a sign for your new business, you should perhaps not put the word "new" on your sign or you'll find in a few years when you aren't new anymore, you'll have to buy a red marker...
and scratch out the "new" in your name (it's still visible). I thought this was hilarious. It cracks me up, sorry I have a strange sense of humor.
We visited Ground Zero. My mother had yet to see it so she and I walked by and as we did, I saw this Burger King and I remembered...
I remembered taking a photograph of it when my daughter and I visited 6 months after the attack. Back then it had been the temporary headquarters of the NYPD and it looked like this...
It was an interesting day.
