World Trade Center Sign to Be Saved
Tuesday March 4, 2008
For eleven years, including six years after the terrorist attack, a seven-foot-tall sign has stood strong on the corner of Church and Cortlandt Streets in New York City, providing information about the World Trade Center towers. The sign, written all in present tense, tells of the 50,000 people who work in the buildings, the square footage of office space, and the thousands of visitors who travel daily up the elevators for the spectacular view. The sign had purposely been left at its original location as a historic reference to what used to be. However, construction at the location of the towers has threatened the safety of the sign. In order to preserve the sign, it is being moved and will be donated to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center.
