The museum sits at a level at the base of the buildings. They got down to these “box columns” made of heavy steel, meant to last lifetimes at the level of the bedrock foundation. The workers sheared most of them to the ground, leaving a visible marker for the footprint of both towers. (Those footprints encircle the areas with collections & exhibits.) But here you can see one of the box columns as it survived. 9/11 Memorial & Museum

The famous cross made of two beams. It stood over the site of the wreckage for years as construction workers and investigators worked their way down through millions of tons of rubbish and remains. 9/11 Memorial & Museum

Got tickets to Jimmy Fallon’s monologue rehearsal!
In a total “study in contrasts,” after spending the morning at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, we went to Midtown to see Jimmy Fallon rehearse his monologue.
Rockefeller Center is full of amazing details & art.

I write. I design. I cook. I read. I make music. I talk to people -- all kinds of people.
I used to teach and hopefully will do so again someday.
My dream job would be a cross between barrista and consultant, with a large helping of international travel and bohemian wandering through concerts, museums, galleries, and open spaces.
Somewhere back in time, my students started calling me "RameyLady" and the name stuck. I like it. There's a Ramey-man too. He's a much better writer but he seems to be too humble to share it with the world....at least, not yet.
Got a comment?
