Here are some advertisements from 9/12. The meaning of these advertisements changes within a few hours on 9/11.

The advertisement reads: "Think New York's been cleaned up? You should see what we've done for vodka".






During my visit to New York City in August 2004, I noticed that this billboard was still in place but the tagline in it had mysteriously changed to "Distilled five times. Once for each Borough."



The advertisement reads:"Stella Artois: Sip from History Untarnished".







This is the makeshift memorial that was put together on 14th street and Avenue A. Someone literally painted the mural overnight. The next morning on 9/12, there were already flowers, candles, messages, and other items surrounding the mural. People visited this mural for weeks afterwards, each time bringing a candle, or some other item.
