re: Saw 'em being built as a KID..........
My kids love the movie “Oliver and Company,†The start of that movie always chokes me up and brings a tear to my eye. It starts off with an animated shot of the New York City skyline with the Twin Towers in all their glory, with Huey Lewis singing “Once Upon a Time in New York Cityâ€
I think, “Yes, that was once upon a time in New York City, for they no longer exist.†We seemed so innocent in the 1980’s when that movie was set.
Those two building were huge. They towered over New York and represented American strength. Now they are gone. I say, rebuild them, but only better.
