Towers No More

I grew up in New York, went to school in New York, got a job in New York and partied like a real New Yorker. Since I can remember, the Twin Towers stood atop the New York skyline, overlooking my every move to make sure I wasn't getting in trouble. They were a constant reminder that someone is looking over me, whether I want them to or not. When I saw the Towers fall, it was like losing a parent.

From Northside Piers in Williamsburg. Rebuilding and transforming the city in a for-the-people beautiful and inclusive way with parks and architecture, including schools like Millennium and waterfront parks for everyone to enjoy the city and their lives more than ever before. They didn't get us. It was purposeless. A waste. So wrong. I will never forget hearing the second plane hit and feeling the punch in my stomach when I turned around to look while driving over the Williamsburg Bridge.

breathing

There isn't a day that goes by when I don't look at the skyline and imagine the towers with all the people inside them. When I walk around lower Manhattan I sometimes imagine that I'm breathing them in, the little particles of everyone who was lost. It's very comforting.

Outside looking In...

I was living overseas at the time. Only at the young age of 15 did I experience living in a foreign land where my parents called "Home". I was at an 18th birthday celebration for a good friend. I got texts asking what's happening in NYC. I had no idea that night. Next morning at school I saw the paper... My heart sank couldn't believe it. I thought I was seeing a still from a movie. When I got home the tv was on. My parents were silent... We were all in shock. 8yrs later I moved to NYC.

from ground zero with love

Standing here at the corner of bdwy and barclay, I'm reminded of how grand the towers were and how totally awe inspiring they made me feel. It's a thrill to be able to experience that feeling once again. Thank you.

Mural at Entrepreneurs Roundtable

With a little app wizardry, I managed to place the towers inside a mural on the wall of a cool accelerator space at 1500 Broadway.

So close you can touch them...

This is my first excursion to the site of the Towers since I created 110 Stories. The feeling is humbling, moving, sad, profound and beautiful.

Success!

I walked all the way just to go get a view of the WTC on 42nd street. To my surprise, the app worked perfectly.

Hudson Street

I love these views where the towers are occluded and all you see is the top. Especially when you don't see the shadow of the towers in front!

lost but found

I watched the events of 9/11 as a teenager in Iowa, home sick from school. I didn't know what it meant at the time, though that day's significance in my life has only seemed to grow as I've gotten older. Through what I was able to watch and read, I fell in love with this city. And now, on my first visit, I know I will return. And it will be to stay. God bless this city and its amazing people.

Beacon towards home...

When i was a kid, I use to tell my little brother that if you ever get lost in the city, look for the twin towers and you'll find your way home... I'm happy that you're finally home, RIP lil bro...
