Where we live in NYC is pretty incredible! I love it! We have lots of families around, Spencer's school is right below/next to/attached to our building. It doesn't get too crowded, but since we are right by a highway we still have lots of taxis around.
We also have lots of sights to see. I've shown before how World Trade Tower One/Freedom Tower is just two blocks away, and we've watched the construction of it the whole time we've been here. Sadly it won't be done until we leave, but we'll come back to see it finished.
We are by the Hudson River too, so when we go down there, this is the sight we see. Lady Liberty. I sometimes have to pinch myself to realize I'm LIVING in New York City.
The view from our family room window is pretty incredible too! Not too many buildings cover it up, so at night we are able to enjoy the beautiful sunsets.
Battery Park is below us, but this is a piece of a sculpture that survived, somewhat, from the Twin Towers falling. It's displayed there in the Park.
We also get lots of protestors near our place!! Wait, no exclamation marks, because sometimes when they have their bullhorns it's annoying. This is actually a few blocks away for the Occupy Wall Street a year or so ago.
Not too far in the Downtown area we have the NY Stock Exchange, and also this great statue in the middle of all of the buildings. It's George Washington!!! Sometimes when walking down the street you totally miss that there is a statue of him there.
And of course, because it's the Financial District, I had to get a picture of the Bull! Whenever I have gone near him there have been barricades up around him, so we couldn't touch. But I have a good picture at least.
