| Location Information
|
The World Trade Center (WTC) was a complex of seven buildings in New York City.
History
Barney once illegally parked Homer's car at the complex, where it received an enormous number of parking tickets and had one of its wheels clamped. Homer traveled to New York to retrieve the car and stubbornly drove it away with the clamp still on the wheel.[1]
The towers were later destroyed in the terrorist attacks, also known as 9/11, on September 11, 2001. Despite this, Homer still tried to order a collectible plate from a 1980s TV Guide where the mailing address was One World Trade Center.[2]
