NYC Council proposes Pike Place-type market for WTC site

"The New York City Council played it this week in its bid for a seat at the table where the future of the World Trade Center site will be decided. In unveiling its proposal, the council cited the example of the Pike Place Market as it touted the idea of a public market within the redevelopment."

Personally, I think an open air market is a great idea. Rather than replace the WTC with a sterile peice of rock, let's replace it with something lively that creates and celebrates a community.
