^ It's the small squares down there, those were the foundations of the 2 buildings hit by the 2 planes on Sep 11, 2001, and collapsed. From drawings and clips I've seen, the entire perimeter of the small squares will have a waterfall pouring water down to the once foundation of the towers. And as far as that tall building on the right, thats the crown jewel of the development, a 1,776 foot tall tower, height in feet symbolizing the year of our countries independence.

Below is a quick animation on the memorial site so u have an idea of it all.

Ahh yes the Guggeneim Museum, luv Frank Gehry's creations, one of my top fav architect. He also designed the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles, just a magnificent piece of work.

LOL nice try, i will rent a 2 seater so u can also pedal the bike lazy ass

Below is the actual webiste to the place Jen and I went too when we rented a bike to cross the Golden Gate....lol yep we choose the 2 seater, such an amazing experience, that cool ocean breeze blowing in your face, the smell of the ocean, the scenery, something to do if u or anyone is ever in San Fran.

Ohh and finally for the first time here, some pics from me, from not to long ago at all on my last trip to San Fran.

I generally was near the Financial district most of the time but headed all the way down to the Ferry Building Plaza and Fisherman's Wharf....enjoy.
