rfmcdonaldI didn't take one of the tours of the actual site of the World Trade Center, but walking around the southern tip of Manhattan, in the neighbourhood of the once and future World Trade Center complex I did see the vast construction projects at work, One World Trade Center rising in the middle of it all.
Eye-catching sculptures like John Seward Johnson II's Double Check (still in its original position in Zuccotti Park, one intersection away from the complex) and Fritz Koenig's The Sphere (moved south to Battery Point Park) did interest me greatly, but the skyscrapers themselves are beautiful memorials. Unless something has changed, hanging on my childhood bedroom wall on Prince Edward Island are three posters of the old New York City skyline, framed behind class. The towers rise, and shine, beautifully.
