I think the Port Authority should build a 100 to 1 detail scaled model of the Old World Trade Center. It would be a huge attraction.

Not a bad idea. I really miss the towers. I miss NYC in those days. That's when I used to really enjoy the city. I remember spending many a lunch hour in the mall concourse level, they had such great stores. I still have some receipts from J. Crew, Banana Republic, etc. that say "World Trade Center" on them. And I still have a bottle of perfume that I purchased at Sephora that I refuse to throw about just because I bought it there. And Borders was wonderful, with the cafe on the second floor.

I am ready to leave NYC, but I do miss those days.

Correction to the first part.....I used to go to Windows of the World afterwork on Fridays! I never worked there. Sorry about that!

Maybe a small light sculpture. Big enough for people to walk around, and see what it was like at the Memorial. Or a computer simulation that would simulate what it would be like to have been at the original World Trade Center, and the Twin Towers themselves.

The Tribute Center has a model of the WTC.

Here the website of the model maker with pics:

Doesn't ring a bell, I keep thinking it was a little known name insurance company. Do you know if Empire Blue Cross/Blue Shield bought out a company and changed to their name?

Although the company would have had to been big enough to have their own cafeteria I'm still thinking back then I couldn't have been crazy enough to quit working for such a good company. I don't know, those days I might have been cocky enough to do this being that jobs were aplenty during those times.

Thanks Mightyqueen.
