I love the Holocaust Memorial, especially that it's "interactive." You actually have to WALK THROUGH IT, which has such a powerful impact – so different from observing other memorials "from a distance."
And I am so glad that it's in such a heavily-trafficked place. This could have been tucked away from the throngs of tourists who overtake the area in the summer, but no – it's right there as a reminder to all. I stop by every time I'm in the area because it's so compelling and chilling.
City hall always seems to pop up out of nowhere no matter which direction I come at it from or how familiar I am with my route. I like the piazza-feel all around it though, and I'm curious about those wide, brick-lined spaces.
I like them too! I’ve noticed pop up activities on the plaza in the last few years; they screened a couple World Cup games there last summer. Seems like a good use of the space
