I took both pictures at ground zero on November 11, 2004. A bit over three years after the attack, and the whole area was still in shambles. The feeling was (and I’m sure still is) very eerie there. Around the entire perimeter every so often there were groups of tactical looking NYPD officers with rifles (AR-15 pattern.. but could have been M4’s, I’m not sure) and German shepherds that were all business.

I’d like to visit the site myself one day, but I never get up into that part of the country. Maybe one day…
I’d highly recommend making the trip. There is SO much to do there. Lots of great places to eat too. And if you like shopping, it’s undoubtedly one of the best places in the world for that.
It makes me sad to think all this time has passed and we have not rebuilt there. We should have built something bigger, better and even more American on that site by now. WTF!
I agree. The only real excuse I can think of is maybe in a recession, the guys that can afford buildings are picking up used ones for cheap rather than spending hundreds of millions on building a brand new one.
