I actually wonder about that and how many west coasters feel, as well as those who had never seen the towers. For me, it as well as the Statue of Liberty were the welcoming point whenever we'd drive over the Verrazzano at least twice a year. The first time I drove over the bridge since 9-11, which was 2 or 3 years after, my mom pointed out where the towers used to be and I almost started bawling. STILL everytime we go to Brooklyn we are back and forth on the Verrazzano and that one expressway that goes between Bensonhurst and Carroll Gardens/South Brooklyn, and i look for that space and it's just weird and eerie. I can't imagine someone who's never experienced the towers having the same feelings.
