Breezy Point, NY 9/11 Memorial
Info about the Breezy Point 9/11 Memorial:
Permanent wooden walkway and platform on the Rockaway bayside. Platform contains 29 glass etchings for each of the Breezy Point community members lost on 9/11. Next to it is a cross shaped piece of steel from the World Trade Center.
Info about the photo:
I took this photo it seemed in complete darkness. I used my cellphone for light to see the camera controls. Parking is closed at Breezy Point as nearly all parking is behind locked gates for residents. I parked in a visitor lot that was about a 10 minute walk from the Breezy Point Memorial. The Memorial can be seen from the roadway.

My grandparents, Rose and Joe bought a house in Rockaway Point (then) in 1938 with their six children. I grew up in Breezy Point and my grandparents sold the house when I was 24. My uncle still lives on the oceanfront, now known as Breezy Point (part of the Breezy Point Cooperative). My fondest memories are there. All the summers, and even now when I go to visit my uncle, it is the most comfortable I feel of any place I have lived or visited in my life. Of course, I love the ocean as as a young person used to go off the porch (oceanfront property) and go down on the beach and just sit and watch the waves. It was heaven. As long as there is a beach within 50 miles of me that I can visit, I will be happy. Mostly, Breezy Point which to this day fills me with wonderful memories as I pass my grandparents house (which is still standing) to visit my uncle's house (20 houses sway). You would love living there. I am very sorry I never invested in a summer house years ago in Breezy Point. Now you can't touch them.
