[A] Times Square Building (Broadway and 43rd Street) This is the building that started it all when the New York Times decided to move its headquarters to this underdeveloped neighborhood at 43rd Street and Broadway in the late 19th century. The 1904 opening coincided with the opening of a new subway station to be dubbed Times Square after the newspaper and this with the rapid growth of theaters in the area gave rise to America’s most important entertainment center and its greatest stars of theater, musicals, movies, and television. Look up high and you will see the Waterford crystal ball lit up by LED lights above, viewed by millions every New Year’s Eve as it descends its post at the top of the building.

  • Urban Renewal in New York City Part
    MIDDLE STATES GEOGRAPHER - VOL. 25. 1992 t REBUILDING THE GREAT WHITE WAY: URBAN RENEWAL IN NEW YORK CITY Sean Lewis Undergraduate student SUNY Oneonta Oneonta. NY 13820 ABSTRACf For over fifty years not a single building has been built on Forty second street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues. It is called the most dangerous street in New York. an area that requires over fifty officers a day to patrol (1). It is an area filled with drug pushers. prostitutes. pornographic movie houses and sex shoppes. But amidst all this decay lie seven jewels, memories from an era long forgotten. An era of Ziegfield Follies. Douglas Fairbanks. The American Musical and the Marx Brothers. An era of penny arcades, and Burlesque now no more than pictures in history books. Now, due to private enterprise working with the City of New York. Forty second Street is about to undergo a monwnental overhaul. A rich example of planned urban renewal, it will be given new life and a new image. Forty second Street will once again be known as the Great White Way. PART ONE - GROWTH OF "THE DEUCE" Times Square owes its beginnings to Charles Frohman. who in 1893 erected the Empire Theater on Forty first Street and Broadway. Until then, Manhattan's theatrical district was nested along Broadway between Grand Street and Bond Street, but Frohman's theater introduced the area to a future of magnificent theater (2). Oscar Harnrnerstein was next to enter the area with the building of his Olympian Theater in 1895. Located between Forty fourth and Forty fifth Streets, while it closed down only two years later, it too was a major pioneer in theater growth between Forty second and Fiftieth Streets.
