Fast Company's "Letter From The Editor," June 2007

"We've just moved to 7 World Trade Center, a site destroyed on 9/11 and rebuilt as one of the first gold-level green-certified office buildings in New York. We overlook the Hudson River a...nd Wall Street- and the pit where the Twin Towers once stood. I can see their footprint from my desk. This is my first letter to readers as editor of this magazine, and my second issue. I didn't choose our new site, but I'm proud of it, proud of our owner and our CEO for having the faith and the foresight to embrace this venue as one of possibility in the wake of tragedy. Not everyone is thrilled about the real estate we now occupy. My wife was anxious when I first told her about our new address, reminded of that terrible day in 2001. Some staffers at our company chose not to move with us; the memories were too harsh. But I feel differently. For a magazine like Fast Company, there is no more fitting location for our headquarters: a place that is all about rebirth and potential and the promise of tomorrow." - Robert Safian, Editor See More
