The twin beams of light marking the World Trade Center have returned for September 11th. The lights are not in the location of the former towers.
Donald Trump is personally urging prospective home buyers to consider Trump Plaza, Jersey City, in a new radio advertising campaign that probably indicates sales are slow, or as rumors put it, non-existent. The first tower opened earlier this year and the word on the street is the place is a ghost town. The second tower […]
