Well, today is the first day that the city was back to "normal"... By that I mean, people were out, there was traffic in the street and a lot of businesses were opened... However as I walked around, there were a couple of places where the people had been evacuated from their buildings because of bomb threats... Luckily, none of them were true... I for one feel better today, I was fortunate I did not lose any friends or family in this disaster... Just Sunday I was at the WTC, I had not been there in a long time... I went to shops there, walked around the grounds and thought about what a great place this was... Looking back in hindsight, that might have been an unconscious farewell to the place... I later walked up Liberty Place and Liberty Plaza and onto Broad street... I tell you, in my mind, having lived here for a long time and knowing that part of town well, I still see those places as I knew them, not as they are now... I've seen soem of those pictures on the web and I know where the photographer is standing, i know which way he's pointing the camera cause I see what's there now and I know what used to be there...
