lorim asked: I'm a fan of your publication and tumblr, and I have a genuine curiosity. Can you elaborate on the decision to continue using the name Freedom Tower? I always bristled at that label, and, like Pataki, I prefer that we retire it to the past.

Hey there! We’re happy to hear from you.

Josh, who edited the article, explained that he used the “Freedom Tower” reference in the headline as an artful way of representing what Ray does every day (building a “Freedom” tower by day, occupying Zuccotti Park for some form of “freedom” by night). We agree with you otherwise. Good riddance to “Freedom Tower,” hello, “World Trade Center” forever more. In the article, refer to the building by the latter title. Thanks again!
