Yeah, it’s overhyped today, the media talks about it way too much, blah blah blah.  But right now I don’t care.  Maybe I’m getting sentimental in my old age, who knows.
This is a picture of Manhattan that I took in Feb 1998 from the observation deck at the World Trade Center when I was visiting NYC with my good friend (and sometimes commenter) Joey JoJo Shabadu Jr.  I still can’t really believe it’s not there anymore, even though I’ve been to the site since then.  Pictures of the NYC skyline just seem like they are missing something, even five years later.
