It looks as though they've decided on the design for what is to be built at Ground Zero. Of the two that were being considered, I suppose I like the chosen one better.
The trouble is that anything they put there is going to look wrong to me, just as people hated the Towers when they first went up. But I never knew New York to look otherwise. It looks strange now, and it will look strange with the new tower. It will never look right. It's very odd to me that my children will have a very different picture of New York than I have, because I can't picture it any other way.
I am glad they didn't go with those two skeletal towers. They just looked like bombed-out buildings to me.
In happier news, "Angel of Harlem" is playing on Virgin Radio. Joy.
But then, people hated the Eiffel Tower when that went up. Maybe I'll warm up to it.
