The contrasts of Ground Zero

Here is Fitterman Hall, damaged on 9/11, still standing, still reminding. It is on Vesey, next to Ground Zero . . .

and also next to the beautiful new World Trade Center 7. This is the entrance, with flowers, trees, a nice courtyard, and a scrolling word banner peeking through the trees.

The two could not be more different, or elicit more contrasting feelings.

You can see the scrolling poetry banner through the doors of the lobby entrance.
