Where the theater used to be is going to be a Barneys New York. On the temporary wall that’s in place so they can do construction was this:

taste luxury humor

Five years ago today

Five years ago, September 11th and 12th were Saturday and Sunday, as they are this year.

Five years ago, a random, quick weekend trip to New York seemed like a good idea.

Five years ago, the CityPass for NYC included the museum we really wanted to see (the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum), several others that when added together made the package worthwhile, and tickets for both the Empire State Building and World Trade Center observation decks.

And so, five years ago today, I took these pictures. What is notable now, of course, is not what is in them, but what isn’t–the building beneath my feet at the time. All of these were taken from the observation levels of the South Tower. These, like so many other pictures, are from an unreachable past.
