VISITING JOHN    

John Lennon, was for a time, one of New Yorks most famous favourite citizens. It suited his energy and style. If he hadn't been taken down himself,  I am certain he would have been first in line to organize a post 9/11 fundraiser.

An astounding landmark that has enthralled millions. The view provides a unique and unforgettable jolt. Not from the height, but more so from the magnitude of New Yorks empire.
