World Trade Center, Marriott, Tall Ships and me.

1998 though 2001 I traveled quite a bit for business - usually 2 to 3 weeks of every month (of which at least 1 week would be in NYC and at least 1 week would be in SanFran). My company used to have frequent meetings in some shared office space in Tower 1 - 83 floors up (a great view over-looking the Hudson into Jersey).

When I was in NYC I would stay at the World Trade Center Marriott - right at the base of the World Trade Center (the hotel was connected to the South tower). The hotel restaurant was called "Tall Ships" and I used to hit it up pretty much every day. The hotel and restaurant were right at the base of the WTC towers - ground zero. My last trip to the Marriott was in early August of 2001.

I was cleaning through some boxes tonight while rebuilding the 2HP.ca filestore and found some matches from Tall Ships Bar & Grill.

Even more creepy is the manufacturer of the matchbox is "Impact Group" (as seen on the address side of the matchbox).

That's the kind of stuffola you've got to keep to show your kids.

My dad gave me a hankerchief from 1937 of the British King that abdicated his throne - Edward the 8th I think it was. Those things are pieces of history.

Wait another 40 years and take it to Antiques Roadshow!

A piece of history you'll never replace...
