Guest, do you live in the area?

The NYC skyline is not dominated by any one structure anymore. Unless you were aware of the location, don't think you would notice.

I live in NJ and my brother-in-law lives a five blocks from the site. He has a loft with a rooftop patio. The patio was covered with dust and glass as well as other debris. His picnic table was studded with pieces of glass. Now when I visit him now the first thing I notice is how much brighter the area is. The WTC blocked more sunlight then I realized.   I do feel its presence every time I go down to the area.

Now it does look like a construction site. A year ago at this time was quite different. I'm amazed at how quickly they were able to remove the debris from such a monumental mess.
