Interesting Insights

Went to the lib as usual and borrowed my usual stack of books. What was of particular interest was that it occured to me that I was reading the Knoph's City Guide, New York printed in 1998. Not particularly impressive. I'd realised that only when I'd read about the Greatest Bar On Earth being located at the 107th floor of the World Trade Center. Hm.

As I'd read the guide further, I'd found that it had featured a picture from the Cathedral of St John the Divine. Page 125, bottom left corner. It was of a capital on the porch of the cathedral, with an apocalyptic scene of the New York skyline, featuring the Twin Towers, and what appears to be a gaping hole in one of them. Freaky. I wonder if it was a play of the light in the photograph, or perhaps a printing glitch. Perhaps someone with access to the area would care to pay it a visit.
