PnonG - I'd like to hope so, but unfortunately, over the last 30 years we've gone from one extreme to the other. A good mix of dirt/grime/nasty and Disney could be fun...

I miss that place that used to have those Roman columns out front. Classy.

I avoid times square because walking through it makes me dizzy and confused.

Can we see this from space? I only care if we can see this from space.

All these comments about Disney, Wal-Mart...I agree that it is sometimes too much, but do you remember what 42nd street used to be? I'd rather have this any day.

Well, this will make the tourists from Des Moines feel a bit more at home.

The marketing at http://www.walgreenstimessquare.com/ says The Lion King is still playing on 42nd Street. Maybe someone should take a gander and notice it has moved up to 45th and Mary Poppins took over the old theatre.
