The US Department of the Interior just announced that it's reopening the crown of the Statue of Liberty on July 4th, 2009. It's been closed since the national nightmare of September 11th, 2001. The crown was closed originally because it's nearly impossible to evacuate it in the event of an emergency. In order to deal with whatever eventualities arise, visitors will be limited to 10 at a time and there will be a lottery held to determine the lucky ten, three times an hour. The lines will be beyond belief but what a great sign that life's coming back.
