        @BeschlossDC By 1966, #CamelCigarettes & #chevrolet signs were gone and Admiral Appliances was replaced by #CocaCola at north end.

        .@BeschlossDC IMO in this '63 photo of Times Sq, you can see beginnings of NY's stagnation & decline (eg vacant adv "spectacular" on right).

        .@BeschlossDC Also, just the drab & rundown look of area in general & Hotel Claridge ("Midnight Cowboy") & stores on right in particular.
