Even though it's dated yesterday, it's seems like old news...didn't the concrete workers already walk out a few weeks ago - a dispute that was resolved by signing a new deal? I'm confused...

The water angle in that photo is going to be such a sick vantage point.

I sort of like Goldman being crazy lit up...it's like a lantern, like FiDi's modern-day lighthouse.

There was definitely activity yesterday. I was watching the cranes pull stuff up. Also, the netting around the top earlier in the day was lower, there were new steel vertical columns

It's getting put into storage for a bit pretty soon. I think it'll go in Liberty Park, which will be just south of the memorial.

So, even if it does not end up "in" the memorial, it should still be pretty visible.

This is the location of a well-known video of the twins collapsing. It's cool to see the rebuilding from the same location.
