This 4th of July weekend, the Statue of Liberty’s crown will re-open; visitors can take the 12-story spiral steps leading up the narrow passage to see what may be the best view in the world. The crown was closed after the 9/11 attacks. Brad Hill and his father James Hill are eagerly awaiting the crown’s re-opening. They own the Evelyn Hill concession and souvenir stand at the base of the statue. The store has been in their family for three generations and James was born on the island.
