I don't have a lot to say about this (other than a big, southern HELL YES!), but I do have some pictures I took with my phone from the World Trade Center today. I walk by the Freedom Tower's construction site everyday on my way to work. It's always surrounded by rubber-necking tourists and commuters going to and from their lives between NY and NJ. Today, it was even more crowded than usual with both of those groups of people, only it was eerily quiet.
There was a distinct lack of the usual "bustling." Every one stood around the Freedom Tower, looking at one another, some smiling, some crying, a few holding flags--and several selling flags (gotta love our good ol' American capitalism)!
It was really an emotional place to walk through, even with the incessant drone of the helicopter over our heads and
Hope you guys enjoy the pictures, and what's left of this momentous day!
