Former Peacock-Salem Launderers and Cleaners building in Salem, VA

9-11 Memorial in Salem, Virginia
Salem has its own 9-11 Memorial, beside Fire Station No. 1 at the corner of Calhoun and Market Streets. (I am sorry that my photography skills here are quite poor.) What you see below are two steel beams from the 33rd to 36th Floors of the World Trade Center’s North Tower.
I’ve seen several of these memorials in New York; I was surprised to find one so far south.

I took these shots last night, before I joined some great friends for great conversation and a great dinner on a balmy midwinter weekend. Every February should be as kind.
