Freedom Tower Eclipses Empire State Building

The Freedom Tower in lower Manhattan is slowly going up, and the other day they hoisted an I-beam into place that made it to 1261 feet, becoming officially the tallest building in the City. Since we left before they had broken ground, I have no idea about how the view of downtown looks.

I do have the ability to imagine, though. The Empire State Building is unimaginably large. If you've never been to New York City, it's hard to fathom what it's like to be around thing, and from how far away it's visible.

And now there's a building growing out of downtown that's bigger.

We need to go back and visit...
