From the depths of another thread, I give to you...

http://www.digipulse.org/images/wtc-rebuild.jpg

I cooked this up as my own plan for the rebuild. 4 broad (in the surface area sense) towers, say 50 stories high apiece, one in each corner. In the center, a park as memorial to September 11. On each street is a path leading in to the park, which is also accessible from the towers. Towers are accessible from street and the subway stop that is still underneath the site.

Office space and memorial in one. Questions? Comments? Attacks on my mental stability?

Actually Mike, it's a sharp idea. Practical, respectful, and economical.

A look at Mike's screen...

"C:\ run commentanalyze.exe

Enter Comment(s): "sharp idea" "Practical" "respectful" "economical"

Analasys complete. High concentrations of praise present. Trace elements of sarcasm possible, but unlikely. Recommended course of action: express gratitude."

Mike: "Praise? Gratitude? Wait, I know this. Thank...you...syc?"

Goddamnit Mike...I pay you a sincere compliment, and you think I'm bluffing. :(

Heh. :)

Compliments are harder for me to find than leprechauns. And I'm Irish. That probably doesn't mean anything, but I'm posting this far too early in the morning, with a C++ final looming on the horizon. That might not mean anything either.

Wait, I got it. I haven't had coffee yet.

I thought this might be a good place to reference a weblog dedicated to the WTC Rebuilding. It has some interesting Frank Lloyd Wright tower proposals, too.

Yankees want a new stadium in Manhatten. A hole big enough for baseball with room for seating 50,000 already exists in lower Manhatten. Whey didn't anyone see this obvious solution?

Actually, I had worked up a little tongue in cheek conspiracy theory along those lines. The bottom line, however, is that the Bronx needs Yankee Stadium much more than Manhattan.

Probably true. I guess it would not be appropriate to put the Bronx Bombers in that hole.
