The building experienced major damage in the September 11, 2001 attacks.

9. Pennsylvania
   Pennsylvania was the twelfth of the original thirteen American colonies to be founded, but it quickly grew to be the second most populous after Virginia. Quakers, Mennonites, Amish, Presbyterians, and Roman Catholics from Great Britain, Germany, Ireland, Sweden, and the Netherlands flocked to Pennsylvania, where they could worship in peace. Although the Quakers and many other colonists opposed slavery, Pennsylvania had about 4,000 slaves by 1730. However, thousands of African Americans were free in Pennsylvania, and they began founding their own Christian churches. Jews, too, found homes in Pennsylvania, adding to the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Philadelphia and other cities. In the first half of the eighteenth century, Philadelphia was the second most populous English-speaking city in the world after London, although German, Swedish, and other languages were often spoken as well.
10. Harbour Town Golf Links -- Hilton Head
    Harbour Town: Located down the South Carolina coastline from Charleston on Hilton Head Island, this is a classic and unique links course. At 6,896 yards this par-71 layout, designed by Pete Dye is relatively short. But Mr. Dye added some special effects to the elements of water, wind and jagged swampy shoreline. Sprawling bunkers in multiple shapes are dispersed judiciously throughout and rimmed with sawed-off railroad ties and telephone poles. All four par-3's are imaginative if not long. Three of them involve carries over water to shallow greens making correct club selection a necessity. The other is a deep, narrow green encircled by sand and protected by overhanging trees.
