re: #462 Killgore Trout

There’s the political dynamics to be sure, but now that everything has been approved, the developers have to come up with the money to make the project happen. I would expect a reemergence of the story once shovels go into the ground and they start demolishing the existing building to make way for the new community center.

Of course, Geller and her followers will continue to claim that this site will somehow tower over Ground Zero (a laughable claim, but one that those who aren’t familiar with the site will buy into) even as 1WTC is now over 52 stories tall (half the 104 story tall height before the antenna reaches to 1776 feet).

The real story is how much construction has gone on at Ground Zero in the past year and that the Port Authority expects to have the 9/11 memorial open by 9/11 this year - the 10th anniversary of the attacks.
