It's also a familiar mark on the skyline. Back in the mid-90s, when I first moved to New York, I used the North Tower as a sort of waypoint. Anytime I was lost and didn't know where I was, I looked for the Twins, and knew immediately where I was and how to get where I needed to go. I'm sure 1WTC will have that same effect.
Thanks.I also believe that beacon at night will serve as a waypoint.Also,do you like the new 1WTC as much as old WTC 1&2 or anywhere near it because I've seen some of your post showing your love towards the old and how you met your girlfriend in the north tower?
