Commission to meet to consider new
Penn Station plan proposal
Jackie O's not alive to do anything about it, so let's hope Amtrak, NJ Transit and the MTA can come up with a plan to make Penn Station less of a shithole. It certainly couldn't get any worse. Read HERE.

One of the advantages of no longer being young are memories. As a boy I remember old Penn Station before it was demolished. It was a magnificent edifice, huge in scale and incredibly grand. The main room, vast and flooded with light, was modeled on the ancient Roman Baths of Caracalla! The still extant post office in the back on 8th Avenue gives a very small hint at the scale of what once was. Today’s station, a shabby, dark, underground warren is a hellish and disgraceful mockery of the glory that once was.
