Times Square Revisited


I've always been fascinated with Architecture and Photography. This was a great feature by the NY times on the rebirth of 42nd street near Times Square. Once a dismal, eclectic grouping of peep shows, stingy shops and "personable" people (a la those memorable street scenes from Taxi Driver), its now a re-vamped smorgasbord of corporate advertising and shopping. Also, a lot of cool architecture has now been covered up unfortunately...maybe in 20 years we'll see another type of (de) transformation
