Times Square has come a long way since I moved to Manhattan
in 1982.
At that point it was a seedy area full of strip joints and SROs.
A couple of years ago they cut off some streets that crisscrossed
and turned the area into an open square reminiscent of similar spaces in Europe.
Not only has this undoubtedly saved the lives of many tourists,
but it has also created a great space for events and performances.
People can watch the acts while they eat a snack and rest their feet.
No wonder it’s such a big hit!
Or it could just be because of the Naked Cowboy.
