    The Big Apple

    Promised Doug, flat6bagger, the next time I walked over the Brooklyn Bridge I would take some shots and post them. For some reason or another putting padlocks on the bridge is a big thing. My wife told me they do it in France, why we would mimic anything the French do, I couldn't tell you.

    Freedom Tower, constructed where the Twin Towers were put up. A new high rise with offset floor construction, really cool looking.

    Since it started in Italy I'm OK with it. I guess true love means you're "locked" in.

    You know the sad thing is that I think most people have forgotten that heinous crime committed against our country. I still remember. And yeah 53 , it makes me sick too. I don't feel like we got our revenge. It took too long. We should have flattened that place the next day.

    On a lighter note

    Back in 1996 my youngest son turned 6 and I asked him where he wanted to go and he said "To the top of the Twin Towers"

    1. South Tower looking up from West St.
    2. Going up the escalator of the main lobby to the elevator banks in the South Tower
    3. Looking down onto Church St. from the highest inside observation floor.

    Aye - superheated sand turns to glass, right? The Middle East could have been VERY shiny!

    As I recall back in the day I wouldn't kiss a girl unless she mimic-ed the French. They don't make bad potatoes either!
