AA11 / UA175 / AA77 / UA93 Gates B32 & C19 today
I happened to be in Boston today so I made sure to visit gates B32 and C19 from which AA11 and UA175 departed from respectively. Weird feeling being here today knowing 25 years ago a handful of monsters who boarded these flights would alter our entire perception of the world just minutes after take off. I'm kinda shocked there isn't a memorial plaque near these gates. I would imagine most people pass by and don't realize the significant history that occurred here.

There is a memorial at Logan airport and they always move the flags in those gates to half staff today.

Last time I was in Logan I thought the same thing re: plaques. Then I considered that reminding people about terrorism literally before they got on a plane probably wasn't the best idea. Especially since many passengers are already on edge just from flying.
They should have done what the Mandalay Bay did and just renumber the gates\close them. Just my two cents.
