Rebuilding...
Jul. 16th, 2002 05:11 pmA long, narrow structure cuts across the World Trade Center site where Greenwich Street used to run. Over the last month or so I have watched the builders extend it from Liberty Street up to Veysey. When it is complete the subway tracks will be laid inside it, and eventually the street will be rebuilt above it. The day subway service is restored to South Ferry will be a big day for us, a sign that lower Manhattan is back. Not to mention that express service should be restored to Manhattan's West Side line south of Fourteenth Street, shortening my daily commute by several minutes.
Attended my second ribbon cutting with the Governor in six days. Last week it was the building I work in, at the edge of the disaster area. (I have been back for three or four weeks, but now it is official.) Today it was the stone cottage abandoned during the Famine and transported from County Mayo and reassembled between the World Financial Center and the River as a memorial. The opening was to have been March 17, but September came between.
I see that LiveJournalers from all over are meeting in the flesh (as it were) next Tuesday evening at eight at various locations, one of which might be near you. For more information go here: http://livejournal.meetup.com/ Might prove worth a look-see.
