Lower Manhattan

Jacob Wrey Mould Fountain



I was playing tour guide and took a friend on a Sunday Stroll around Lower Manhattan.

We start our trip out at Jacob Wrey Mould Fountain at City Hall Park.  From here we go up on the Brooklyn Bridge.  We were going to walk to the other side but it still under renovations.

Down to Battery Park City.  We spent a few moments at "The Spear" memorial.  It's something to see this up close.  If you remember the Spears location and what this piece of art looked like prior to 9/11 it's amazing that it' survived in any form.

Over to the Vietnam Veterans Plaza Memorial.  I was amazed to find out that Dan Bullock altered his birth certificate to enlist in the Service.  He was only 14, he died at the age of 15.
