En el centro de la ciudad de Nueva York, en Manhattan, se encuentra una de las estaciones de trenes más interesante de los Estados Unidos: Grand Centra Terminall. Es un edificio grande, amplio, típico de la arquitectura clásica, o beaux arts, de los Estados Unidos a principios del siglo XX. y tal vez lo que llame más la atención a un extranjero sea la cantidad de tiendas, bares y restaurantes; además del ambiente animado. El popular bar-restaurante Grand Central Oyster Bar, es uno de los múltiples que han abierto dentro de la estación. La hermosa decoración de azulejos amarillos, obra de Guastavino; la comida y la bebida para todos los gustos hacen de este lugar uno de los mejores de la terminal.
On March 11, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced that airline passengers have rated LaGuardia Airport as best in its class, a stunning reversal of fortunes for an airport that five years was deemed the worst in the nation. The passengers were surveyed throughout 2023 for the highly regarded Airport Service Quality (ASQ) by the Airports Council International (ACI).
The airport earned an overall passenger satisfaction score of 4.24 out of 5, which was 20 percent higher than in its score in 2018, when passengers rated LaGuardia as the worst airport in North America. As a result, LaGuardia was named ASQ’s “Best Airport of 25 to 40 Million Passengers in North America” in 2023. The ASQ award is based on direct assessments from those who count most: passenger opinions.
The announcement builds on the airport’s success following the celebrated openings of the new Terminal B in 2020 and the new Terminal C in 2022. More than 32 million passengers used LaGuardia in 2023, which was the airport’s busiest year ever.
At 1.3 million square feet, the new Terminal C is 85 percent larger than the two terminals it replaced - consolidating access to 37 gates through a single arrivals and departures hall. The terminal showcases six commissioned works from artists Mariam Ghani, Rashid Johnson, Aliza Nisenbaum, Virginia Overton, Ronny Quevedo, and Fred Wilson. The artwork include sculptures and painted ceramic murals that span the building's multi-floor light-filled entry space, as well displayed in baggage claim and other areas throughout the terminal. The art tells a compelling story about the city's immigrant history, its people, and the importance of celebrating diversity throughout the city.

McNamara Terminal opened - after a very long process of planning and development - in 2002. I think it's aged very well.
Ich glaube Norman Foster war der Architekt, bin mir aber nicht sicher. Wer weiß näheres?
This is an aiport terminal in Lyon. I think, that Norman Foster has been the architect, but I am not sure. Does anybody knows?
Regan National Airport. I Arrived to the airport early and had plenty of time to grab a sandwich, enjoy a Sam Adam's and play around with the camera. This FedEx guy pulled up to this ATM accross the hall from where I was sitting and was the perfect subject for some low-light testing. After reviewing the shots I was amazed that I could actually read the statement he printed (I censored his name off the report). Not bad for a 24 year-old manual focus Pentax-A 50mm 1.4 lens!
Don't you just love it when the next standby flight is at a totally different gate in a totally different terminal. Fun stuff.
I'm stuck at the airport waiting on standby thanks to Delta canceling my flight late last night. Already missed the opening of the Wal-Mart Sustainable Packaging Expo, as well as my meeting with CL group this morning. Waste of a full day, but hopefully the trip will still be worth it.
