The blog History Eraser Button has a run down of the area where the Park 51 Community Center (the so-called Ground Zero Mosque) is going. If you have an opinion of this, one way or another, and you don’t know what that section of Manhattan looks like, take a look at “Hallowed Ground” | History Eraser Button. You may not change your mind, but if you think that section of New York is some form of holy place, well, take a look.
I’ve been to New York many times, and to me, it looks like alot of working New York. Nothing wrong with that. If anything, it has that rough charm I love about the city, just like I love the people who live there. New York is a great city: to me, it’s the capital city of the world. Any city so great should be open to everyone, as New York has been these many many years. It’s one of the reasons, among many, why it is so great.
Long live New York City.
