"When they released Sidewalks of New York, there were some shots with the towers they were going to take out, and Ed told them no. I don't think they can deny the towers were a part of New York"

This quote by Dennis Farina is referring to the 2001 film Sidewalks of New York, which was released shortly after the 9/11 attacks. The quote is describing the director of the motion picture, Ed Burns, who chose not to consist of any shots of the Twin Towers in the motion picture. Farina is implying that the Twin Towers were an integral part of New York City and that Burns' choice to not include them in the movie was a conscious decision to not acknowledge their presence. Farina is likewise suggesting that the Twin Towers belonged of New York which they can not be denied. This quote is a tip of the impact the Twin Towers had on the city of New York and how their absence is still felt today.
