In 1904, New York Times publisher Adolph S. Ochs moved the newspaper’s operations to a district known as “Longacre Square,” just off of 42nd street. After building “Times Tower,” Mr. Ochs persuaded Mayor George McClennan Jr. to construct a subway station there to make it easier for reporters to travel around the city and then get back to the station, and the district was renamed “Times Square” shortly afterwards. In late 1904, the first electrified advertisement appeared on the side of a bank at the corner of 46th and Broadway.
The New York Times expanded to several buildings around Times Square, and the entire district became overwhelmed with business men and women. Local theater owners took advantage of all of the foot traffic in the district by relocating their businesses to Times Square, and it became an entertainment stop for everyone on their way home from work. It wasn’t long before New Yorkers and tourists made the district a popular hang-out.
The area took a huge hit during the Great Depression and was considered a dangerous area from the 1930’s until the early 1990’s when Mayor Rudy Giuliani led an effort to clean-up the area by increasing security, closing pornographic theaters, pressuring drug dealers to relocate, and opening more tourist friendly attractions. By the late 1990’s, Times Square was once again considered a great tourist attraction for New York City. The New York Times now operates at 620 Eighth Avenue in New York, but the tall flashy building with all of the TV’s in the middle of Times Square is the original Times Tower that was built in 1903.

Kosova Independence Celebration
Times Square, New York City

times square is, generally speaking, a sort of overloaded, media-saturated, lights-and-bustle spectacular of the sort that very rapidly gives me sensory overload and a desire to just go sit down somewhere where there isn't anybody. all that said, it's still an impressive achievement in the area of soul-destruction and wasting-of-resources, and should be acknowledged as such. it's also worth noting as probably the only place in america (outside of vegas) that quite achieves this effect...
I hate Times Square. So far I love everything about Manhattan except Times Square. It feels like Las Vegas.
