I think Lawhawk said the same upthread. I saw a satellite view of the area and it was hard to tell.

Like I say, if NYers are ok with it, I don’t know why anyone else has a problem. Maybe if I saw it, I would think differently.

Sorry to hear the temporary museum sucks. What’s there? How big is it?

It’s really small—one room. And it’s set up more for people to buy the 9-11 experience than anything else. It made me sick. Tshirts, mugs, xmas ornaments, you name it.
One freakin wall with a timeline — and then racks of merchandise. (lots with NYPD or NYFD logo).

Oh and a nice little video room in the back where you can ‘record your 9-11 story’.

I didn’t even see a plaque with victims names. (they had a temporary one at the site itself, but NOTHING in the visitor centre/museum whatever they’re calling it. I guess they need that space for selling more trinkets.)
