Wall St

We happened to pass through Wall St while walking back from Ground Zero. This area was full of impressive, old sandstone buildings with great significance.

A very secure bank. According to an info sign, it had some great historical significance. The owners chose to build such a low building on such expensive land to flaunt their wealth. The building was, however, built with the strength to support a 40-story building. A car bomb went off many years ago across the street outside this building.

(In this picture is a black christian man yelling a lot. These people are very common in NYC)

The bank had two of these guys at the door. Guns scare me. And I was scared.
