Here’s the thing about living down the street from the 9/11 Memorial: Tourism on another level and the apparent need for an apartment exorcism. 

I moved to the FiDi almost five years ago to be closer to work. I found an apartment in a gorgeous, Gothic-style pre-war building where gargoyle statues guard the mailroom. It’s a stone’s throw from the law firm where I work (many of my co-workers live in the building too) and half a block from the memorial, which opened in 2011.
