They'll always come. Wave after wave after wave of commuters. Will they all stop at the memorial, no. Will they think about it yes.

This is true. When I worked down there, I used to walk by Alexander Hamilton's grave, every morning. It is two blocks away, in the courtyard of Trinity Church. I never saw anyone even pause to look at the gravesite except myself. NYers move on.

There's a difference though.  That memorial is in the graveyard and behind bars.  I prefer memorials that are directly in the paths of commuters exiting the WTC site.

Lots of people ply Boulevard East in Weehawken for the views of Manhattan and come across the "death rock" that Alexander Hamilton leaned on after being shot by Burr.  It's probably more visited that the gravesite.

I've stopped many times at Hamilton's grave, but of course he is my fave founding father!
