New York Stock Exchange (11 Wall Street) and the 2021 meme-stock attention

The New York Stock Exchange building at 11 Wall Street is the site of the exchange's trading floor and the ceremonial opening and closing bells. During the January 2021 GameStop/Reddit-driven short squeeze, the NYSE building and its trading halts were widely referenced, photographed, and shared across news sites and social media. The facade and trading activity at 11 Wall Street remain prominent visual symbols in online coverage of U.S. equity markets.
