New York Sightseeing, New York City (July, 2003)

 
Other than the South Street Seaport, this was the largest disappointment.  All the hype around the World Trade Center site, was nothing more than a large construction site.  The "hole" left from the WTC is now the site of, what we assumed to be, the construction of a temporary subway station.  There was no viewing platform, no memorial to speak of, and no information.

Though it was crap as a memorial it is good to see that in the true American entrepreneurial spirit we aren't wasting time feeling sorry for ourselves, we're building again and moving on.  To me that's a better tribute to those who died and sign to terrorists around the world.
