Nice, walking on the dead.  Bubble gum. Cigarette butts.  Dog doo.  Homeless ladies urinating.  Remind me to play polo in a cemetery.

--Good point, from another early bird.  Wouldn't happen if you put these plaques all over the city, though.

I have subsequently been thinking that not only should they be pavers, they should be 2' x 6' pavers, with name, dates, occupation, children, etc all of which would make them more than one of 3,000 names of dead people.  Maybe use the same red-spattered granite they used in the Holocaust museum in DC.  3000 2x6' pavers would take up an area equivalent to a 189' square, the better part of an acre.  People could walk on what aren't really graves, but look like them, and I bet  the bag ladies and dogs would "go" elsewhere.

And I still think the towers should be rebuilt as they were.
