Posted: 3/17/15 at 6:55pmGood. Maybe that'll mean less kids in Times Square and the hookers will feel safe to come back.

Posted: 3/17/15 at 6:55pmI never understood the concept of it being in Times Square to begin with. who will take over the space should prove interesting.

Posted: 3/17/15 at 11:02pmPerfect spot for a Broadway theater, no? Is it possible to renovate the building to become one? Their load-in doors could be on 44th.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 3/18/15 at 8:25amIf you read the article, the brokerage firm representing the landlord has already suggested that they'll divide it up into multiple retail parcels. It ain't becoming a Broadway theater.

This has brought up a lot of memories of the charming ferris wheel operator I once spent an evening with.
God was he terrible in the sack.

And a very crappy theater at that. It used to be a movie theater and it wasn't good for live theater.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

H&M is building a monster store down in Herald Square.
