Thank you for this tribute, Rolando. I feel very moved by the image of the old stone next to new tile. Very glad they've kept what they could.

Thank you very much Melanie. I found that contrast very poignant as well.

You're welcome Tom! It's a very special place and I'm glad to share it! It's important for people to experience it -- and contemplate its significance.

I have very clear memories of walking this subway line with my mom and brother at Christmas ‘93 at night to go up to the indoor observation deck in one of the towers. At the time, I was awed that we could get off the subway and be in the Towers without having to go outside. Now I’m awed that it still exists.

That's such a wonderful memory Jeremy. The old WTC and how it was all connected from 110th floor to subway entrances acres away is forever fascinating. I only wish I had explored it more while it was all still with us.
