@mattblaze@federate.social I didn’y live in NYC until after that horrific day. I visited NYC for 1st time in 1999 and even visited the Twin Towers.
I lived in NYC for 12 years, but as my associations with that day are not as raw as those who truly lived it, the building feels to me a representation of resilience.
As a runner living in WV/GV/Soho, I typically ran Hudson River Park, lower Manhattan, over Bridge & Brooklyn Bridge Park, & that building was like the North Star, almost always visible.
