Yeah, but the funny thing is that really has nothing to do with the site. 2001 feet would have been symbolic. 1,971 feet would have been a better symbol. But, I understand the politics. Gov. Pataki was the worst kind of empty headed, flag-waving, let-go-my-durn-freedum-fryz idiot that this country had in abundance during the last decade. One would have hoped the height would get tweaked along with the name.

Ah well. Such is life.
