Got it! Let's meet at the little shaded area across the street from the World Trade Center. There are a couple benches there, but there shouldn't be a ton of people sitting around. Someone can wear a silly hat so we can recognize each other.The WTC is at 401 E Pratt St, by the way, and you'd be crossing Pratt and sitting in front of the M&T Bank and whatever little cafe is there nowadays.
When people try to speak a gut reaction, they end up talking out their ass.
