I am a native in this world And think in it as a native thinks

More WTC
I'm not in love with the design, and though I understand the reasoning behind taking back the World Trade Center name instead of sticking with the original Liberty Tower, I'll always think of the twin towers when I hear that name. It's still a sore spot on my heart, all these years later.
Of course, what no one will admit now is that most people hated those towers, including me. They were undistinguished on the inside -- with truly terrifying elevators -- and ugly on the outside, and I will still probably cry forever when they turn up in the background in an old movie or television show.
