Looming over us at Broadway and Cortlandt, was the One Liberty Place building. Usually shiny and black, it still has the gray shroud of dust.
Officials thought it was going to collapse soon after the attack, but apparently is sound now.
We walked down to the next street, which is Liberty.
Nothing to see here but a small portion of what appears to be the south-west corner of the South Tower, looking like a skeletal hand with a finger pointing up. Just across the street, (on the left side, out of view) was Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church. I always enjoyed seeing it because it sat alone surrounded by an empty lot. One could see it from the lobby of the South Tower. It was the last hold-out when the land speculators came. It was the size of city row home. It's sides and back looked shaved and windowless where it's attached neighbors were removed. It was, or course, flattened when the South Tower crashed down on it. I found out later that it was built in the 1830's.
