Like the GRUMMAN in the foreground, the soaring Twin Towrers themselves are now but memories.....how much we all took for granted......

["GRUMMAN"]

Not just them: the white type on black background street signs, too, in all caps, replaced by white/green "Ewe and El-See."

W.B.:

I think we all tend to forget just how much of New York's "streetscape" has changed/disappeared during the past 24 years........... Sad

'NYO"

Twenty-fiveyears......

Tomorrow, it will be 25 years since 9/11.....and we are stilllosingsoulstoday, even after a quartewr-century.

The city, the country, and the world....forever changed on thatf horrific day, a day that started with so much bright sunshine.

None of us will ever be what we were, prior to that day.

Indeed, America lost what little innocence it then still retained......let us never forget........

"NYO"

A few glimpses of happier days.............
