That's how I believe future generations will feel about the new skyscrapers shaping the skyline now. Our skyline is being altered in many ways, and in different boroughs.
But for future generations, it will be the only New York they have known. The photos we take of the skyscrapers rising now will seem like ancient history by then, even just
20 years down the road.
