tourism at ground zero

**the dufferz** · 01-08-2007, 11:16 PM

Anyone work or frequent near ground zero? I was wondering if this is now a tourist trap, or is it still treated as hallowed ground? Is this a busy sight day and night?

I think it still draws alot of tourists. They started the work on the new buildings there.

What did they finally decide on? I always thought that they should rebuild the business end of the property, but it is an emotionally charged issue. I will be good to have all that finished so that we can honor the fallen other than standing at a fence looking in.

They are going to build another building called the Freedom Tower, I believe but don't quote me. There will be an area for the memorial site, business, and retail also.
