Changes in Fun City


Welcome to "Fun City" - that was the term that Mayor John Lindsay used for Manhattan in 1966 on his first day in office.  I love that term, and so I continue to use it. Changes are always certain in a place like this.  What I noticed the other day was the proliferation of these giant LED signs.  They are all around Times Square but now they are showing up in other locations.  These signs are on the corner of 34th street and Seventh avenue, near Penn Station.  Another new thing is the bright red illuminated "Subway" signs which have turned up recently.  I love these signs because if you are in an unfamiliar area, you can spot a subway entrance, if they have these kinds of signs, from a mile away!
