I work in the city almost everyday. Pretty much 99% of the time. Naturally I'm downtown today by Wall st. It's business as usual today. Nobody is apprehensive or on edge. It might have been on everyone's mind on the way in this morning but that faded quick. New Yorkers don't get rattled too easily. We just keep it moving and come what may.
I posted this in case the rest of the country was curios about what we do in the city every year on September 11th. We don't waste time dwelling on that day years ago. Mostly because it's a part of us. People in other states may take a moment or two to be reminded of what happened but we don't need to watch the news or listen to the radio as they read off all the names. We are the names. Our friends and family members and neighbors that went down with towers are as familiar to us as anything we already know.
I do miss the skyline though. I gotta admit that. The new tower just doesn't have the same majesty that the twins had. Oh well...
