This is a worthy addition to the city, and definitely worth a vist.
Some brief observations:
- The design is very underrated, especially compared to Calatrava's PATH terminal
- Only the building is open, none of the stores, bars will open this year
- It's still a beautiful site to behold
- I was surprised by the number of people there today
- I had expected people to continue with regular routines a little longer
- But New Yorkers were eagerly eating the place up
- Downtown needed this,(I think the whole city did)
- It's perfect for people watching
- Especially if you love the complex nature and pace of urban life
- The upper level was closed off
- It will be featured in movies and television shows (wonder who or what will be first?)
- Also wonder if they will do any holiday decorations
- When things begin to open inside, it will be the perfect place to meet after work
- It will be connected to both the PATH terminal, and Brookfield Place, both destinations of their own
- I think New York has been spoiled with this one, so close to the new PATH concourse
- Everyone should go see it
- I didn't explore the entire center, just took it in a little
And finally, some clips and photos taken opening day (the evening)

I'll move these photos to a new thread, as this one is wrapped up, but excuse me while I indulge in people watching at the beautiful, new hub....
