Yes, that's New York!
Most of us hate the cross town rival, especially with baseball and hockey.
Edit, one of my old one liners, I'd root for the Iraqi national team before I'd root for the Rangers!Post edited by Lerxst1992 on0 -

That was my first trip to NYC. Went with my wife, she was living and teaching in Brooklyn when 9/11 happened. She lived just on the other side of Brooklyn Bridge, so as a result her local FD was among the first on scene and suffered the most.
It was a nice memorial. The first time we went there was about 45 minutes of security checks and meta detectors, which honestly sort of hindered the experience for me. Not that I didn't want to bother with safety, but it was a reminder of how much security has changed and took away a little from the experience of focusing on the loss and the victims.
It wasn't nearly as bad the second time.
I didn't feel weird about the massive grave site, but I did think about it. One of the "cool" things was a single tree that survived.
Other than that, it was like any memorial. You go, you reflect, you get sad. There isn't much else to do, I think we were there about 20-30 minutes.
My wife wasn't very impressed though. I think because she experienced it, the memorial didn't really do it justice in her mind, didn't capture what happened. Just really a list of names around an infinity pool.
For her I don't think anything will capture how she felt the weeks and months after, walking by every church plastered with thousands of missing posters. Recognizing the same faces on the walls of missing for weeks.Post edited by mace1229 on0 -

The only part I really remember is reflecting on everything at the fountain/infinity pool and taking in what happened at that spot.0 -

Sitting here for the past 2 hours having coffee, remembering that morning. By the time I got up to our roof deck (I still live in the same building), the Towers had collapsed. My brain couldn’t connect the image of the huge plume of smoke vs. the actual Towers as I had seen them each & every day for the previous 20 years.
