In this aerial photo of July 28, 2011, a grove of trees surround massive square reflecting pools at the National September 11 Memorial in New York. The memorial will open to the public on Sept. 12, 2011. Out of the ashes of 9/11 has risen a vibrant neighborhood packed with new restaurants and hotels, places to live and spots to shop, along with many ways to pay respects to an area some worried would never come back. A decade after the attack on the World Trade Center, Lower Manhattan draws roughly 9 million of the city's nearly 50 million visitors a year, including the area around ground zero.
