A day after evicting the International Freedom Center museum from the memorial quadrant at ground zero for being too controversial, state officials described a plan this morning to develop a half million square feet of retail space elsewhere on the World Trade Center site. New York Times

of course this is more appropriate than a freedom center. what could be controversial about consumerism? it's the american way.
if we want to tell the world who we are, this is the best way to develop the site. no question.
;)
and another thing...forget these foreigners like snohetta designing on this site. it should be good ol' americans like childs, cobb, etc. - you know, the favored circle of architects near and dear to our most important corporations.
actually it seems like the only way this project (if you can call it that now) can survive.
Welcome to American capitalism, folks
where else are the flocks of mourners going to get their venti lattes?
