Bstoner. Thanks for doing so and please keep removing those posts. Today is not the day for that “debate.” Its in very poor taste.

Lost a neighbor and the brother of a friend. A friend lost all of her paintings. She had one of those studio spaces way up in one of the towers. One of the artists who had one of those free spaces had decided to work late the night before and slept over and died in one of the plane strikes. Friends who have kids living in Tribeca decided to stay put but lived through hell and have respiratory problems. An attorney friend’s firm overlooking the WTC site decided they would reopen one week after 9/11. She ended up had “flu” after “flu” wondering why she was always sick. Many people I work with now used to work on lower B’way. They walked out of buildings after the implosions and were completely covered with the dangerous dust. My former office in the WFC had all its windows blown out. Fort Greene: dust and noxious fumes wafting into Brooklyn for months.
Please check out the following websites for schedules of things going on around the city. Loose Change and 9/11 Mysteries are two excellent documentaries. Loose Change is being screened around the City.

6 years –
my friends still gone, my valued possessions carted off as rubble,
Now all that stands is a hole in the ground, with 3000 dead in a lost war,
the true perpetrator mocks us in multimedia apparently safe from justice,
and we wait for the next attack with the empty music of false political promises, platitudes and to a commitment of joined non-sacrifice…..
Beautiful photo
Brownstoner-if you click on guest the profile for Brooklyn Native comes up?
I still miss those buildings.
She just lost my vote.
