And...well, gosh, that's pretty much
And...well, gosh, that's pretty much all I have to say at the moment. That, and: leave the tower footprints open. Don't build anything on the spaces where the World Trade towers actually stood. Build around, even between...but not on. Only one of the six mostly atrocious plans for rebuilding the WTC does this, the rest totally or partially obscure those spaces.
The memorial ought to be two vast, empty squares of fine green lawn, perhaps delimited by a border of mirror-polished black marble etched with the names of the 2,800 who died that day. So that future visitors can walk to the center of each vast, empty space, look up into the sky, and imagine 110 stories towering above them.
There. That's all I have to say at the moment. Now I'm going to go watch Powerpuff Girls.
