Gee, I'm glad you're a mod.

The tower is looking fffiiiiiiiiine. I can't believe a year ago it was that short.

Neither at this moment. I just need to know more about how things go around here.

It's fun watching this building take over.

I think you're going to need a weeee bit more than 32 posts to be considered for a moderator position. You need to show that you're actually a contributor and follower of a section, rather than just posting "yeah, I'm mostly just lurking. Cool shots!" from time to time. Basically, you need to show that you're really involved with a section to be considered a mod.

And Skyscrapers of New York has shown that he (or is it she?) follows these threads and knows what's going on. That's why SONY was considered, and is now, a mod.

Makes sense,I guess. I followed this thread for the longest time when compared to the others I've been to. Now I need to just contribute more. But I'm not really wanting to be a moderator. Seems that it can be hectic to get some "people" in line,judging from the history I know of now in this thread. Well,might as well end this discussion so we can get back on track with the developments.

Believe me, it's HUGE. I drove on West Street yesterday and I couldn't even see the top of it through the windshield. Thankfully my car has a panoramic sunroof! LOL!

i'm there next weekend, can't wait to check it out. i saw it last in late march and it was huge then. I mean the pictures are all great but there's nothing comparable to seeing it in the flesh

JesseNewYorkCity · #**14716** Posted **Jul 14, 2011, 1:13 PM**

It's such a beautiful day today in Manhattan! Not a cloud in the sky! Perfect day to take the top down on the car!

JBoston · #**14717** Posted **Jul 14, 2011, 7:23 PM**

So, I got a tour of the museum and the memorial yesterday as well as a tour of the WTC 1 tower. It was fucking amazing and I wish I could show you guys pictures, but the Port Authority said I couldn't post any online. I got to stand out on the external stairwell on the 62nd floor and the view is spectacular.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! I am scheduled to go for a tour again in September of the memorial and in that case I will be able to take pictures. I will post them ASAP!

Fixed your post, hope you don't mind, but just 'amazing' is ok.
But I wish I could go there! It is my dream to go to new york, has been since i was small, and this makes me want to go!
Give it a few years and i'll go, i have to see this building in person. The glass is fantastic, and the rate they're going up at is... astonishing?!

animatedmartian · #**14719** Posted **Jul 14, 2011, 10:22 PM**

That sounds awesome dude. Too bad they're tight on photos.

You can see the core is now cut at angles.

I know this is irrelevant, but I highly DOUBT this article has been seen by 3 million people. That's a big lie. More like probably maximum of 5,000.
