This morning I rode the bus back into Manhattan and went to the southern tip of downtown, Battery Park.  I walked from there to the World Financial Center, where there's an exhibit about the plans for the WTC site.  Ground Zero itself just looks like a construction site at present, but I got a photo of a nearby building that hasn't yet been repaired from the blast.  From there I walked through Greenwich Village to Washington Square Park, where the famous chess boards are.  Business was slow, because the park was being set up for NYU's graduation festivities.
