WTC Memorial Progress

Months have passed since I had to abandon my WTC Week-by-Week project, but every once in a while I like to check in on the official sites and see how everything is going. Since I live so close to the WTC site—hate the term “ground zero”—I have an unquenchable curiosity for the construction, but can never see most of the cool stuff. Case in point: I had no idea that the memorial pools have had their smooth black granite walls for almost a month now.

More images of the pools here and, as always, lots of interesting information at the WTC Progress site. Also worth noting: The Deutsche Bank building has been deconstructed to less than 12 stories tall, and it seems as though they are progressing at about a story a week now. Good news for the view from my apartment.
