And we had also had window views of the Twin Towers, just three blocks south of the high school.
When we were looking for a place to park, we found a crappy looking lot for city cars. It looked as if most of them were out for the day already, so we parked there and got away with it.
I remember being in traffic right next to the twin towers and commenting to the other guy with me that a few years ago they tried to blow the place up with a bomb in a van. I said, if we had been there then, it would have been really wild.
Little did I imagine that if we had been at that same place for 911, we would have had debris falling on us.
One other thing, the kids going into Stuyvesant didn’t look too bad. We also visited the Bronx School of Science that day. THOSE were the kids that looked scary. But they were very nice kids, too.
