The Towers

September 11, 2009

FOUND by Kisha in Ojai, California

When I was little (mid- to late-1990s) my dad brought this photo of the World Trade Center towers from a vacant house he was painting. I kept it all these years, and came across it again today.

FOUND by Deb in New York City, New York

I found this on a seat on the uptown number 1 train. There was another find next to it but the writing was a lot more subversive. It said stuff like, “Allah Sucks Dick.” I left it alone. Although this find appeared to be written by the same person, it’s more endearing.

You Da Best, Miss U.S.A.

FOUND by David in E train from Queens to Manhattan, New York

Found on the subway. So many things to ponder here: the use of a half of a paper with a pixilated wreath on the back, the date written at the top (the first World Trade Center bombing), the gentle script.
