So we can park in our ramp now. They closed our building down the sunday W came by to look like he gave a shit which sucked cause I had work to do and couldn't.

That's my building, the ugly one on the left, I'm on the top floor.

It's just odd. I don't know what it was like at Ground Zero for people who had to work in the area but I wonder sometimes. They had to lock our floor because we're one of the buildings with some kind of view of the bridge and we were getting what I've called Disaster Tourists coming onto our floor and looking out the windows. Now they come hang out on the top or our parking ramp. They get stopped just past our building so we're kind of the end of line so they wander up to the top floor of our ramp and . . . . look.

"Hey hon, lets take the kids and look at the bridge which is still someones grave."

Cops sitting on what used to be a freeway that carried 100,000 cars a day.

Lots of concrete barriers everywhere.

Authorize Vehicles Only - I drive by this on the way to my building now. It doesn't seem to stop anyone though.

GPS mark on our parking ramp, probably for sat photos. VERY precise (my gps doesn't know from that many numbers left of the decimal.)

Obligatory 'merican flag on the 10th St. bridge. These two bridges were about 200 feet apart. It's closed to everyone but the people working on the bridge now. Too much of gawker hazard.
