.@BeschlossDC Alternate opinion of original Penn Station (from someone who actually saw it) -- probably most overrated building of all time.
.@BeschlossDC @CalMorgan *4/_* No comprehensive, detailed, contrarian essay on original Penn Sta yet exists -- but do hope to do one myself.
.@BeschlossDC @CalMorgan *5/_* Should mention, altho not clear in tweets, critique of Penn Sta architcture is just as much aesthetcs as use.
@True_Urbanism @BeschlossDC @CalMorgan Poor functionality of current Penn only surpassed by abominable Port Auth bus; I know both very well
@BeschlossDC @missb62 I would be so happy to cheer the utter eradication of the monstrosity that's there now; makes parking lots look good.
@BeschlossDC Wonderful piece but it needs pics of the old station interior! Hard to get across just how grand it was https://www.google.com/search?q=old+penn+station+pics&biw=1407&bih=746&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=Ng2oVPHaL4HSgwSJ9oKoDg&ved=0CB0QsAQ …

@BeschlossDC one of the greatest acts of vandalism, ever.
@BeschlossDC Nice piece. Some of the old stairways to the tracks remain. That's about it.

An act of vandalism that will forever break New Yorkers' hearts. @BeschlossDC
@BeschlossDC I love that the Yale architectural historian is Vin Scully.
