9/11 in NYC

This is the first time I've been in NY on 9/11, and it really presents some striking images. Six years ago Manhattan seemed to be on its knees. Today it's a remarkable non-stop shopping/music/business party, from one end of the island to the other – and I've covered most of that ground over the last couple of weeks. From the possible cross-town Series to the possible cross-town election, and all the art, music and money in between, NY is arguably even more the center of the world than it was six years ago. Maybe it won't last – NY and the US have more competition than ever throughout the world, as I discussed in the previous post. But at least then I could say I was there at the peak.
