I love New York always have always will, but I wish I had a time machine and could go back to N.Y.C. circa 1920s-1930s and see things like the original art deco Penn Station,

Coney Island when it was at its heights and the original Times Square when it was truly something to behold in that era.

Hey thanks for replying! I'm glad i finally know =). Btw lucky you who got to see it in real life =(

[AlbertPaysonTerhune]

@marvelfannumber1 The station was dingy grey ('pink' granite and Travertine marble that hadn't been cleaned in decades) on the outside and basically grey and brown on the inside. The floors were concrete tiles with glass brick embedded. Actually these floors still exist as part of the station, though they have been covered over. The signage was red and gold of the Pennsylvania RR. The stair railings were brass, and many still exist.

@krypton549 Except that this arrangement of Gershwin's Rhapsody is the work of Ferde Grofe'. It is the best known version and the one that put the piece (and Gershwin) on the map.
