Originally called Longacre Square, this New York landmark became Times Square after the opening of the Times Tower. And the rest is history. Located in the heart of the theater district and the center of New York nightlife, Times Square has, over the years, attracted people from all walks of life, from brewery workers to stage actors, from the poorest of transients to the cream of New York society. It has, in fact, become the "Crossroads of the World." Through 130 postcards that span a century, Postcards from Times Square paints a picture of an area that has been the home of movie palaces and palyhouses, of elite restaurants and fast-food chains, and, eventually, of the best-known New Year's celebration in the world. You'll see the Great White Way exchange its gaslights for electric bulbs and, eventually, for neon. You'll visit famed sights like Roseland, Radio City Music Hall, and Sardi's. And you'll discover how a world-renowned landmark has weathered a tumultuous century, growing from its rural roots, achieving worldwide fame, suffering a twilight of decay, and, ultimately, recapturing its magic.
