re: #265 marjoriemoon

My point in saying this, I don’t think NYers have to make the point of tolerance and diversity to each other. I could be dead wrong about that, because I thought about what you said before I typed what I did above. But trying to picture myself there again, I think I would vote no. Any other place would be fine.

Jimmah and I were at Ground Zero last week. (the temporary museum/info center they have up across the street is really a disgrace, btw.)

I think a lot of people weighing in on this might not be that familiar with the geography of Lower Manhattan.
You know how much stuff is within a 2 1/2 block radius of ground zero? LOTS.

That’s really why the community voted for it—It affects nothing having to do with Ground Zero. It’s not some superscary mega mosque looming over it (with height of the planned tower, good luck with that!) the way Geller et al would have people believe.

BTW, Jimmah and I also visited the Irish Hunger memorial at the end of Vesey and North End Avenue. Very tiny memorial but very pretty and very moving. And not at all insulting to the memory of 9-11./

Seriously, if people want to be outraged over something to do with ground zero, they need to take a look at that temporary museum. Appalling.
