    A Moving Monument to First Responders on 9/11

    This was a small but very well presented memorial. It is quite moving. Sadly, the woman who stareted it has passed, but her family is keeping it up. I had not realized the number of firefighters who lost their lives.

    If you don't have a car then I guess a taxi is your best way - it's a little outside the main city area, maybe a 10 minute drive.
