The close ups of the top of the Barclay-Vesey are very cool.

^ People working in 7 WTC and the Freedom Tower will get those closeups.

This photo shows how people in the WFC will get a firsthand look at construction of the Freedom Tower and the memorial. It's almost unreal watching those things take shape.

That is a massive chunk of land downtown, you really don't get the perspective unless you've been there yourself Ill bet.

WOOHOO! OMG OMG! the north core is up to STREET LEVEL! YAY! ANOTHER ONE FOR THE FREEDOM TOWER!

Plokoon11 · #**4587** Posted **Mar 20, 2009, 10:15 AM**

I can't really tell where north core is?

pattali · #**4588** Posted **Mar 20, 2009, 10:48 AM**

The north core surrounds the lower crane in this shot:

I may go by the site later.

No increase in the N. core level that I can see. If it advances at the same rate as the S. core did from the current level, the next jump won't be until April 23.

This thread is like a really good book. You just cant put it down and you cant wait till you get to the next chapter.

NYguy · #**4592** Posted **Mar 20, 2009, 9:43 PM**

^ Well here's another chapter.

MARCH 20, 2009

While I was taking photos of the Freedom Tower, a couple of women asked me why. I explained that it was the WTC rebuilding, and it confirmed their suspicions that it was ground zero. That brings to mind a couple of things, one being that even with all of the signs, renderings, and a couple of damaged buildings, some people still don't know what it is. And secondly, due to media coverage, many people are still expecting to see a hole in the ground - they aren't expecting to see the vast amount of construction the site has become. Anyway...

Hey everyone I'm new on here and I just wanna briefly introduce myself. Obviously I'm canadate and that's my last name if anyone is wondering. I'm from NJ and I've been a "spectator" at this site for the past few years and i finally decided to join....but to get back on topic (b/c I know how some people get pissed off on here when others stray away from topics) I'd like to say that those are some great photos NYguy. You and everyone else on here always do a good job with the updates and I appreciate it.. maybe if I hadn't known about this site I'd be like those women. haha...It's really sad how ignorant people can be...but what can you do?

NYCLuver · #**4594** Posted **Mar 21, 2009, 1:48 AM**

Sorry no pictures this week guys, I have been feeling like crap!

Someone come and give me chicken soup, play Male nurse and cuddle.

pattali · #**4595** Posted **Mar 21, 2009, 6:39 AM**

Thanks NYguy Good view from picture #13 to #16 looking at Fulton street, so small looking from WTC earthcam, picture #15 is the best for compare size of workers and Fulton street.

Though I'm not sure if that's the actual sidewalk in front of the tower or part of the street itself, according to the PA, it's the Fulton Street connection. We all knew it was coming, but it's nice to actually see things taking shape.

andydie · #**4597** Posted **Mar 21, 2009, 2:11 PM**

nice series NYGUY

Always appriciate your coverage of this Project

J.M. · #**4598** Posted **Mar 21, 2009, 2:55 PM**

Now this is what I like to see, its like crane city now

The contruction process seems to have everyones attention but what about after, ex: How Iconic will it be. Id like to hear some thoughts on that.

ethereal_reality · #**4599** Posted **Mar 21, 2009, 2:59 PM**

There is an interesting interactive graphic of WTC construction
in today's (Sat. March 21st) Wall Street Journal.
