He has lived in NYC for 18 years moving here from India. He said one of the first things he did after moving was go to visit the World Trade Centre. "It was unbelieveable" he said of the view. He took his relatives there many times before 9/11 and has a lot of fond memories of that place.
As we pulled up to our hotel, which is right across the street from Ground Zero, he said he felt like he couldn't work the rest of the day because he relived the memories of 9/11. Many New Yorkers have said the city has moved on and gone back to normal, but the wounds are still fresh after ten years. -
It seems all of New York is pitching in to keep the city safe this weekend. Along by a concierge, we were greeted at our hotel by security guidelines.
They warn of road closures, police checks of backpacks. We were also told to always have government ID and that anyone trying to enter the hotel would have to prove they are a registered guest.
It all became clear why when we got up to our room. We have an uncompromised view of Ground Zero and the site for the memorial. -
Just talked to a man who works in Lower Manhattan. He says one of 9/11's lasting effects are the constant police presence on the street #911by rebeccalindell via twitter 9/8/2011 5:54:17 PM

Talked to a guy that has worked at the WTC site since Sept. 12, 2001. He told me some remarkable stories, here's one for now.
After a few months of digging through the rubble workers found a tree stump that appeared to still have a bit of life. The workers dug it up and one of them took it home to rejuvenate it. Ten years later it is 25 feet tall and has been replanted at the memorial site. I'll try to pick it out for you all on Sunday. -

One last story for tonight from a guy I spoke with that has been working on the World Trade Centre site since Sept. 12, 2001.
There was a bar called O'Hara's across the street from the site that was nearly demolished from the debris field. The rescue workers and clean up crews spent an excurciating going through debris, bodies and destruction.
At the end of the day the guy I was talking to noticed there was beer at O'Hara's and reached through the smashed out windows and took one. At the end of the day, the guy told me "I could cry or I could have a beer. So I choose to have a beer." Now that the bar is reopened he's been back almost everyday since, paying back his beer debt. -
