What’s Up in the Neighborhood, September 11 2021

Let me start today, as I do every year at this time, by taking a break and a pause, in honor and in memory of those who perished at the World Trade Center, those who perished at the Pentagon, and those who died in the field at Shanksville, as well as those who lost their lives on those four airplanes. Our world changed on that day. We all know where we were on that tragic Tuesday morning. Honor the memories of those who passed, remember their lives and their dreams and their goals today.

And we now take time to share the love to the writers, photographers and podcasters who exist on my personal blogroll.
