And another thing that I had forgotten about, even if Penn Station had survived that battle AND even if it was landmarked it might have gone through ANOTHER battle 25 years later in 1987 or so to keep it from having office towers built on top:They nearly tore down the current Madison Square Garden in 1986 with plans to move it to the then-just built Javits Center site because many wanted where MSG is for a new office tower. If the old Penn Station had remained, especially by 1987 and with a crack epidemic in full force, there would have been a lot of pressure in my view to tear down that Penn Station as there actually was in some circles to tear down the current MSG. |
