The June 2007 issue of Esquire has the 4th installment of "The Rebuilding" series, this one named "The Steel". Not much new or interesting except this:
"The Port Authority, a billion over budget and panting hard to find a private-sector partner with deep pockets, has quietly renamed the thing. Hello, One World Trade Center. Farewell, Freedom Tower." |

Won't happen.. the cranes you see today are the only ones you'll see thru 2011 |
Speaking of cranes.
http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z...6/DSC04870.jpg http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z...6/DSC04871.jpg These pictures do not do it justice but standing by 1 Liberty Plaza looking towards GS, there were exactly 12 cranes of varying sizes and functions. It looked rather impressive |

The address was ALWAYS "1 WTC." This is the same sort of accurate journalism that consistently gives wrong floor counts, height figures, etc. |
2007.. five and a half years later and we finally get a forest of cranes.
And that 7 WTC.. it may be just an unimaginative box (well, ok, a parallelogram) but it sure is a good looking box. ROI meets Brooks Brothers. |

It's STILL named Freedom Tower, and will always be because of it's symbolic height of 1,776 feet. You know, the Declaration of Independance for freedom, signed during that year on July 4. |

The trade center was known as different names to different people before and after the attacks. I suspect that it will be the same when rebuilt. It might be that only rubes will call it Freedom Tower. |
Who, or what are rubes?
The tower had a few different names earlier, I think. One of them was the Vertical World Gardens. |
