Just when I ask I get my answer. Awesome!
I really hope that awful disgusting rainbow-colored ābeer gardenā is finally down by September. What a mockery of the WTC site that thing is making, especially compared to this amazing building.
The Beer Garden has absolutely no connection to the Performing Arts Center, what would make you assume itās closing just because the PAC is opening?
The Beer Garden is operated as a part of the Oculus and the Westfield Mall. Even if the Beer Garden were to close (which itās not) the ādisgusting rainbow-coloredā visuals wouldnāt disappear because they arenāt related to the Beer Garden either. What a backwards view.
Iām not assuming itās closing just because of the Perelman opening. I just hoping it happens by coincidence because I donāt want it in the pictures messing up the views of this building.
I just said what you portray as the ādisgusting rainbow-coloredā visuals have no relation to the Beer Garden, that is an art installation to cover up 2 WTC and the Mallās mechanical system, its not going away if the Beer Garden closes and itās not going away any time soon, thats irrelevant. If you dont want it in pictures take a picture of the PAC from the other direction, thereās literally so many perspectives to take pictures of this building without 2 WTC in frameā¦
He canāt take pictures of it because he clearly does not live here, or anywhere nearby.
Whatās your point?
Nice capture of the bollards 
I love how the entrance looks just like a complete void to another dimension lol, I hope that changes when there is some lighting coming from the lobby. I think they were waiting for more granite panels to be delivered and more (or possibly the rest) came yesterday.
It definitely looks like the east sidewalk is ready for paver installation.
I couldnāt capture it, but you can see this lighting features 
from the street level; they look really cool and āorganicā compared to the austere (in a good way) exterior.
I think one of your earlier photos from the opposite direction showed them nicely/or somewhat visible. Iām just wondering if they are all on/installed and that the black void is how it will look, its kind of scary lol.
I think it wouldāve been nice if there was a long led strip lining the interior corner of the ceiling lip.
iāll try to get a pic
Somebody posted this image long time ago, I still think it applies.
Theyāve started paving the sidewalk closest to One WTC, but itās at an odd angle and its slightly difficult to discern if that angle is parallel to the angle the PAC is on or if itās an arbitrary angle, which would also be odd.
They also added a long stretch of bollards and there seems to be about 6-7 more to meet up the ones placed at the middle (those visible in Alemelās recent photo)
Iām starting to wondering if that long narrow rectangle of concrete that was poured weeks ago is just a long bench.
I noticed that too. The recent video on the Perelman seems to confirm the existence of two bench seating areas on either side of some stairs
Interesting, aside from the benches, I wonder where those stairs between them lead to, the subway/PATH?
I got some info:
the long rectangle is indeed a wall, I believe it will double up as a sitting area (although it get a bit high on the opposite end from the memorial)
this is the best pic I was able to get from the interior lights, before the guard told me to stop
-They havenāt started with the paving yet - I think the pavers are on the WTC2 site waiting to be installed
The paving I was refering to in my post was just of the sidewalk portion, not the plaza portion
