Yep, I walked by there last thursday on my way to the Hoboken train. Since this is my first time in the big apple, I don't know quite what to make of that big hole. It is out of place, and yet, somehow it seems to belong there. I figured there'd have been a more prominent monument, something that clearly delineates this site for what it is, but I suppose the reality of it is enough. I have to say, walking the streets in that city, I feel naked; not quite as naked as I felt at times in Baghdad, but being the new kid in town definitely has my hair up. I've seen my share of the big city life, but I gotta tell ya, Baghdad has left it's mark on me.
