The center would be established at 45-51 Park Place, just over two blocks from the northern edge of the sprawling, 16-acre World Trade Center site. Its location is roughly half a dozen normal lower Manhattan blocks from the site of the North Tower, the nearer of the two destroyed in the attacks.<br /><br />The center's location, in a former Burlington Coat Factory store, is already used by the cleric for worship, drawing a spillover from the imam's former main place for prayers, the al-Farah mosque. That mosque, at 245 West Broadway, is about a dozen blocks north of the World Trade Center grounds.</i><br /><br />Already being used - let the grandfathering begin!<br /><br />It's okay for them to protest a WalMart, but since I shop at 'em myself I hope the Walmart goes up. <br /><br />So, should anything ever be built on Ground Zero, which is very near where this community center is being proposed?piker62https://www.blogger.com/profile/10976799832683250524noreply@blogger.com
