Our evening stroll also took us to the Freedom Tower, built on the footprint of the World Trade Centers. I was here soon after 9/11, when recovery operations were still underway, and again when the memorial was complete but the building was still being constructed. I’m glad it is completed, although I’m not sure what the bat wing canopy signifies.
It is still not easy to be at this place, now 14 years later, but the fact that we have rebuilt sends a message.
