Reply to comment by DisneyLegalTeam in Magnificent pictures of New York's old Penn Station before it was demolished, 1910-1963 by Hidethegoodbiscuits

To be fair, if you look at pics of Penn Station right before they tore it down, it looked a lot worse and had plenty of advertising. Had they not torn it down, it would likely have a pizza hut express.

  1. NYP was neglected by the railroad and had not been properly cleaned in years; back then cars were filthy polluters. So that TN marble looked like shit (GCT was neglected then too)
  2. yep there was advertising, again just like at GCT (the giant Kodak sign). But if it had survived I think it would today be treated as a Monument (like GCT), w/ little or no vulgar advertising
