Trees will be welcome along here

Wondering if the seams where the planes meet will get some metal stripping to cover the roller connectors

I doubt that it will ever be fashionable to be there.

Anything in NYC for which demand heavily exceeds supply becomes a status contest.

I think they're part of "the look."

The pilings for the Visitor Check In Platform along Albany Street are in place ...

Where the visitors will be allowed to roam starting 9.11.2011 ...

Lofter1, do you know what exactly will be in those two smaller buildings facing West Street?

[GreenwichBoy]

Wow

[BStyles]

Vents. They were stated numerous times, and a freight elevator, and emergency stairwells.

Thanx.

I thought DQ was wondering about 2&3 WFC.... Also, the plaque with the name of one of my neighbors that worked for Cantor-Fitzgerald is just north of the crane on the eastern side of the north pool. Walking by the memorial on Sunday I was amazed at how small the space looks now, and in the future it will be hemmed in more by the other towers.

some sort of 9-11 vehicle being loaded into the North access opening of the memorial.

Looks like an ambulance wrapped in white.

I thought DQ was wondering about 2&3 WFC.

Didn't think of those two, but it HAS just donned on me just now, that there ACUALLY ARE two small buildings over there as well. And they are almost immediately across from the 2 that I was asking about that go with the Memorial.

But the WFC ones ARE cute in their own little way!!

Just got home from work and it looks like they are finishing up the computer system. I didn't fill out most of the information they wanted since I have no direct personal connection. Just condolences to the lost and my name in case I want to find out where the stone is.

Remember the big granite stone wall that former Gov George Pataki commerated on July 4, 2004 as supposedly the start of the construction of One WTC?

I wonder what happened to that after it was removed from the site. They should bring it back for the Memorial.
