We want to share this email message that came into the TTA this morning, September 7th, from Kevin Corrigan, a lifelong Metro New Yorker who thinks “Larry’s Lemons” deserve a Bronx Cheer:
Dear [Twin Towers Alliance],
Hope all is well. Yesterday’s NY Post article was too depressing for me to even finish it.
However, I was listening to the “Opie and Anthony” radio show (whatever some may think of them..haha) and they were talking about bin Laden, 9/11, etc. Then Anthony started talking about the Freedom Tower. I am paraphrasing here:
“No one wants that stupid Freedom Tower. There had to be some real shady backroom deals going on for that thing to go up when everyone you speak to would much rather have the Twin Towers back. Modernize them, update them, make them safer, anything. Just build them.”
Don’t know what, if any, good this info is. Maybe someone can get on the air with them, but not sure how that would play out. They are a bunch of jokers, after all.
Anyway, every day I go through that pit I pray that something will stop this nonsense.
Take care,
Kevin
We agree with Kevin and Opie and Anthony and all the others we hear from who tell us that everyone they know wants the Twin Towers back.
Shouldn’t somebody be paying attention? If Larry’s Lemons are worthy successors to the Twin Towers, let them defend them in a debate. Let The People decide. That’s what they’re afraid of. So they keep us out of the papers. We’re all for capitalism and making lots of money – but not to be used to silence what most people really think and care about and make our news outlets propagandists for vested interests.
ESPECIALLY NOT HERE! When are we going to get some balance to this story?
The latest pictures and Mr. Silverstein’s statements about how great his buildings are going to be are trying to gloss over the most salient fact: Every one of the enhancements they have planned for these tiddly-wink buildings could be applied to real Twin Towers and THAT would be breathtaking. Otherwise, it’s all just glossy public relations hype.
Come on, journalists – give the people a break!
IT AIN’T OVER TILL IT’S OVER –and it obviously AIN’T OVER.
