6 years later, fewer remembrances for horror we can't forget
In Westfield, weeds have taken over the brick walkways around the 9/11 memorial and heavy traffic exhaust has left its mark on the obelisk.
In Morris County -- where fundraising to expand the 9/11 county memorial is stalled for lack of interest -- visitors can no longer throw coins into the pool around the existing monument, custodians said, because the homeless went wading for change and "we were afraid somebody would drown."

The trend away from every town running their own show doesn't all together surprise me. There are A LOT of memorials that have gone up over the last few years. A LOT. It doesn't surprise me how scattered the victims were - being a commuter from NJ to NYC at the time myself, but the sheer numbers of separate small and large memorials shocked me the first time I saw a compiled list.
