Holy shit I am obtuse.

I rarely walk this corner of Trop and Las Vegas Blvd. I almost always walk through NYNY via the skywalk.

For some reason I decided to take the path less traveled … which sucked because the “up” escalator was broken on the other skywalk and my lazy ass was forced to climb stairs. Yeah, stairs. Those things you had to use to gain elevation in ancient times. Who am I? Fred Fucking Flintstone. Fix the escalators.

Anyway, while turning the corner, I actually took a few moments to stop trying to stare down women’s shirts and noticed this big, stone 9/11 memorial on the corner.

Who knew???

Probably everybody but me.

I asked a few people around me “how long has this thing been here?”, and every one of them just shrugged or said they didn’t know, or reached for their can of mace while backing away from me. When they saw what I was referring to, they actually took a closer look. One guy said “Well what do you know, I didn’t know this was here”.

So I am not the only obtuse person in town. Just the most annoying.

Anyway, I took some pictures of the 9/11 memorial. I assume everyone else has already seen it, but it was new to me.

Yeah, yeah, I could spend all day making snide remarks about the quotes on the plaques … but since people have personal stuff at the memorial, I will refrain.

But just this once.
