I recently returned from a trip to New York City. It had been years since I had walked the streets of Manhattan… and over a decade since I last passed Wall Street. As a break from a relaxing Sunday morning in Long Island, my brother-in-law took me to his job site at Ground Zero. I was surprised—it looked nothing like the massive Trade Towers that I had seen in August 2001, two weeks before The Towers went down. It felt different too.
