Frank,
You may have seen this but thought I would post it.
Scott,
I remember flying into LaGuardia soon after 9/11. Going up the Hudson and not seeing those twin Giants there. Felt as if I had lost my right arm. They were supposed to be there. I grew up in Brooklyn and remember those buildings going up. They were the butt of NY jokes back then but became such a symbol of the city. So recognizable, like two titans guarding the entrance to the harbor but also letting travelers know "Welcome to the Big Apple, we do big things here".
