        Sad moment in #architecture. Saving Grand Central the only silver lining from this moment in the history of greed, real estate and mobility.

        Watch story of #PennStation here in @PBS American Experience series “The Rise and Fall of Penn Station”. I know @EricBalchunas remembers what beautiful #architecture could have been every Friday!https://www.pbs.org/video/american-experience-rise-and-fall-penn-station-chapter-1/ …

        An act of unforgivable vandalism. The current Penn Station has all the charm of a water treatment plant.

        The movement in the US to protect and preserve historic buildings was born out of that terrible decision to demolish Penn Station.

        No the only tragedy with 30th St station in Philly is they are getting rid of the rotating ticket board for a digital display. Nothing quite like the whole station pausing and turning to look at the board as it rolled through and updated.
