Ground Zero Memorial, Now With Nice Railings! 
Monday, March 13, 2006

Can you feel the piety? The remembrance? The pathos? Or does it, rather, remind you that you're late for that 3:10 huddle with your buds in Accounts Receivable? Are your deliverables in order? Are you on the same page? Today, Friends, we all rejoice at the formal start of construction of the 9/11 memorial at Ground Zero. All, that is, except for those for whom the thing will be built—starting today! Not the victims, who are dead, but their survivors, who are, naturally, holding a 24-hour vigil across the street to stop this vision of leafy corporate lunchtime from arising to disgrace what they persist in believing is holy ground. Business as usual.

Note, too, fans of chaos, that this gay image—unintentionally, prematurely, and behind a stand of oak—reveals the revised design of Snøhetta's aborted Freedom Center. Bau wow. Bonus bird's eye after the jump. And for those just joining us—including, perhaps, the gulled author of this amazing treatise—the Post's Steve Cuozzo today recaps the last four-plus years of frenzied stasis.

Why are all those people using cell phones at Ground Zero? And is this the kind of crowd shots we can expect when the projected 25 million visit the proposed "most popular memorial in the US"?

Is it a park or a memorial? A memorial park? A Pamorial? A Mark? All i know is that whatever gravitas the original entry had has been scrubbed clean.

i think that nothing should be built on top of the site where the twin towers once stood as a mark of respect to all who died there and their families, it should be made into a memorial ground. It is a grave after all!
