there used to be a store, right after september 11, 2001, which had the most unbelievable window display. it was selling gas masks, and chemical suits, and anti-radiation pills, and oxygen tents for your pets, and of course duct tape, and it was on the corner of ann street right near j&r if i am not mistaken. so in the background you could see the cranes and destruction machines tearing down what was left of WTC 5 the one which was lower, which used to have the LMCC offices and the barnes and noble bookstore, and in the foreground you would see all kinds of people coming in and out of the store, leaving carrying huge boxes of things which would for sure save them when the next one happened. after a few months the store disappeared. it is still empty. waiting for the next opportunity.

i would make this beautiful corner storefront into an art exhibition space and community center, and bookstore. of course.
