I virtually grew up in The Station; with my father running newstands there, my mother working nearby, and my brother and I attending school up the street, it was our regular place to meet. If there was a delay there was always the Newsreel Theater ( half of every presentation was cartoons), dinner could be on the fly or at the Oyster Bar when we really wanted to end our days wonderfully. It was this experience during and after WWII that led me to a career in architecture and a continuing love of cities especially New York and it's heart "Terminal City". Thanks for the memories, and the realization that together we can bring such a dream together for Moynihan Station. A great presentation.
