    Revised New York Freedom Tower Unveiled

    Here are some pictures. It looks very beautiful to me and seems to "say" the appropriate kinds of things. Its link to the Statue of Liberty just seems like it was meant to be in the first place (before the World Trade Center). Hopefully, it can look as good as the artist's rendition.

    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

      I don't like one single tower- looks so isolated compared to what is around it.

              This just works. I was skeptical upon seeing the first drawings.

                At least it will be taller than Shanghai's Crushing Oppression Building.

                  But a very pretty tower just the same.

                  Now if the finished product will look anything like the architect's concept is to be seen.

                    Wouldn't it be terrorist target #1? I hate to admit it but I would hesitate to move in.

                      I was very underwhelmed the first time, but not this time. Maybe I'm just in a better mood today and it strikes me differently.

                          Well, if that's the concensus of New Yorkers, they ought to put it through another round of review and revision. Y'all are going to have to be looking at it each day. Not me.

                            Perhaps I'm so critical because I feel somewhat possessive of my skyline. Since this is the view I look out at every day from my office, I am a bit particular about it. I liked that the WTC was so massive, and this just doesn't have that kind of grandeur. It's pretty in a rather generic kind of way, but hardly majestic.

                              Well, most NewYorkers hated the World Trade Towers when they were first built...but after they were gone, the New York skyline looks rather naked.

                              So I guess you get used to things after a while (even those things that in the past you didn't like).
