Personally my favorite two buildings of all time, the World Trade Center Twin Towers towered over Manhattan for 28 years. The North Tower (Antenna) was completed on December 23rd, 1970. The South Tower was completed on July 19th, 1971. Ever since their opening on April 4th, 1973, the towers gained an immense amount of popularity. The North Tower even had a restaurant called "Windows on the World" on the 106th and 107th floors. The restaurant spun around a full 360 degrees so you could see all of Manhattan. Even though the buildings are supossed to be the same height, the North Tower (1,368 ft) is 6 ft taller than the South Tower (1,362 ft). Ever since the collapse of the buildings on September 11th, 2001, construction of a new tower has begun. The Freedom Tower is now going to take the new role of being the biggest building in Manhattan. It has already surpassed the height of the Empire State Building and is still under construction. The Freedom Tower will be completed in late 2013.

Your blog design is incredible however I am still waiting to see the YOU shine through ! The info on the buildings is great but lets see if we can focus on things more personal such as places you have been. Basically, what can you offer that Wikipedia can not.
