Patch Readers Remember The Twin Towers

The iconic beacons were both the subject and a backdrop to tens of thousands of photos for the 30 years they stood sentry over lower Manhattan.

During the summer, Patch began collecting readers' photos of the World Trade Center, a growing gallery in tribute to the Twin Towers.

As the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks draws near, we'll be remembering New Jersey residents who died that clear September morning.

But we also wanted to pay tribute to the towers—iconic symbols of hope and prosperity—when they stood tall and proud, dominating the New York City skyline.

We asked and you delivered, sending in more than a hundred photos statewide that represent your favorite memories: the shimmering skyline at nightfall, the view from lazy, summer boat rides on the Hudson, the towers standing in the distance as everyday life—farmers markets, picnics, Yankee games—carried on.

And then they were gone.
