I know i've blogged about this before but I'm rarely able to consolidate all my thoughts into 5 minutes of blogging, mainly because I have a rather 'sporadic' train of thought *cough* easily distracted. Now i'm not paranoid, I'm just pointing something out - they're building a subway station underneath ground zero.
'As above, so below'
Okay, so the new 'transportation hub' will make the site more accessible to those who want to remember 9/11 however, the 'multi-story central transit hall designed in the style of Grand Central Terminal, incorporating a lower concourse, an upper (balcony) concourse, a public waiting area, and first-class retail amenities' doesn't cause the words 'remembrance' and 'reflection' spring to mind, more so exuberance and commercialism. Considering they're building on what is essentially a graveyard, I'm still not convinced this is appropriate.
