••• The New York Times has a terrific annotated map of the World Trade Center in today’s Metropolitan section. (The website has a slideshow of good pix like the one at right, but not the maps.) If you have hard time remembering which building is which, and what the schedule is for the various parts, I highly recommend it.

••• A group of relatives of people who died in the 9/11 attacks is asking protesters not to protest on Sept. 11. Unsurprisingly, no one is listening. (DNAinfo)

••• “For those wondering when the schedule for this year’s Open House New York (happening October 9 and 10) will be revealed, we’ve got your answer. The event guide will go live on the OHNY website at 9pm on Tuesday, September 28, and events that require reservations will start accepting those at 9am the next morning.” (Curbed)

••• “New York City schoolchildren are as heavy, or perhaps even heavier, than the national average, despite the Bloomberg administration’s dogged efforts to improve the health of city residents, according to new data from the city’s health department. […] The West 60s near the Hudson River in Manhattan had the smallest share of overweight or obese children (11.7 percent), followed by part of Tribeca (15 percent), SoHo (17.7 percent) and the East 50s, including Turtle Bay and Sutton Place (18.3 percent).” Those kids’ boot-camp classes are really paying off!
