Past is prologue
I've put together a collection of photos of the World Trade Center towers from my time in Battery Park City.
I lived on Battery Place from 1997-2000. I likely would have stayed, however due to a series of unfortunate events in the Spring of 2000, I ended up putting what I owned into storage while I worked in Sydney on the Olympic Games. On returning I moved in to a short term place on the Upper West Side, and then to Brooklyn Heights.
It was a neat place to live...quiet, close to trains (and work...ibm.com was based out of 55 Broad St from December 1996 through September 2001). I did a lot of work from the balcony of my apartment (this was pre-wireless, pre-DSL days, ah the adventure of running www.ibm.com over a 33k dialup line). The balcony was not a quiet place to work...I was directly opposite the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel exit.
