Guidebooks are guidebooks. They say all sorts of stupid things. Real New Yorkers will know what happened here. Real New Yorkers and informed people. Rubes can have their guidebook "facts".

I'm so happy the building is topped out. It's surreal. I'm going to walk over to 6th at lunch and take in a view I haven't had in too long - Empire State to the left and it's taller, younger cousin, WTC, on the right.
