That's true, but again, you were dealing with a different mentality at the time the original Penn Station was torn down.It also needs to be remembered that by that time, it was clear Madison Square Garden was going to need a new home somewhere. The famed building on 49th-50th and 8th-9th Avenues was very quickly becoming obsolete, and if not at Penn Station when it was, a new location for MSG was going to be needed by the mid-1970's at the latest, never mind the changing patterns of where people were living by the '60s. There was no way MSG was going to be able to exist much past the '70s where it had been, so that would have become an issue as well. The fact the original Penn Station was not built with such flexibility in mind was what doomed it, at least in my opinion. |
