I am become tourist trap, maker of dollars

On Tuesday, the New York Times put up an interactive online feature that lets you roam around a map of New York and click on former Manhattan Project sites for pictures and info. Among the notable clicks are Pupin Hall at Columbia University, where early experiments on atom-splitting led to breakthroughs, J. Robert Oppenheimer's childhood home on the upper west side, and the former New York Times building at 229 West 43rd Street.

Thought: why not go one step further and organize a paid-admission 'Manhattan Project Walking Tour' — you know, an American equivalent of sorts to Whitechapel's über-popular Jack the Ripper walk? I'd sign up.
