now THAT is dedication .... lol, but that lighting is pretty cool, completely extra, but cool nonetheless.

BTW: Is the Subway restaurant still in the building, i know it is, but why can't i ever see it in photos (i know it's just a grey box)? anyone have any recent pics?

I also really love that picture. We've all seen the distance shots of it, but to see it in this context is really awesome.

Great shots.ssssssssssss

Wish I could find the article, there's a blurb on wtc.com, but it really only quotes the contractor who employs the guy that thought of it. Some of the details differ from what I recall as well.

Last night was AMAZING in New York City! I live here in the Silver Towers and I was watching the fireworks from my condo! It was awesome!

Lots of photographers were out last night... I saw about 70 flashes going off every single second coming from Weehawken and Jersey City..

Yes sir, that is correct. I love my condo! Sadly, I am just renting.. But I am eventually thinking about buying the condo when my rent is up in 9 months.
