Can anyone provide me with a link/picture(s) of what the ‘Ground Zero’ site looks like now, or, most recently?  
I am curious.

It looks like a construction site.

I took a couple of photos the other day (January 4th) on the subway tour before the Dopefest.

[This picture](http://sobe/smackfu/photos/dopefest2003/IMG_0661.JPG.html) is what the public viewing area looks like. “Ground Zero” is on the other side of the rather permanent-looking fence. Where the people are standing is all recently poured concrete.

[This is the view](http://sobe/smackfu/photos/dopefest2003/IMG_0659.JPG.html) through the fence. It does look like a construction site.

Hmmm, I really shouldn’t give out links that only work on my own network. Sorry about that.
