It's Finals Time Again

The Commemoration Puzzle

August 2001 - Few cars, bright lights, dark sky, its late night lower Manhattan, and I am riding in my aunts ramshackle vehicle, with my parents and grandma. After a final day of sightseeing in New York, my aunts were making sure we had got our NYC fill before heading home to California. I still remember craning my neck out the car window, unable to see the tops of those gigantic buildings, my grandmas body pushed up against mine, as three generations of Katzer females shared the tiny backseat of my aunt's old sedan. The two towering buildings overwhelmed the night sky and my aunt asked if we wanted to go up. Exhausted and hungry, I replied with that certain confidence that can only be found in an innocent 10-year-old only child, "No..We can go up next time."
