Thanks to everyone that has posted. I genuinely was beginning to believe that I was the only one who felt saddened that there didn't seem to be any memorial planned for the site.

When I look at movies that show the NY skyline my eye is now drawn to the WTC. The towers now appear to be disproportionately tall and dwarfed the city. Ron seems to confirm that they affected the lives of those living near them more than they realised.

I still feel that the site should be turned into some sort of memorial but maybe I understand why it WILL be built on, and soon. I think there should be memorials at Washington and PA as well.
