centennial (sort of) | 365:032
by sam on 02/1/2013Tomorrow (saturday) is the 100th anniversary of the actual opening of Grand Central Terminal. However, in their infinite wisdom, the powers that control events at the station decided that today (friday) would be a much better day to screw up the commutes of as many people as possible by having all of their events, including store and line-clogging 1913 prices at the restaurants (if only that held true for the apple store) and setting up a roped off stage (and seating that you can’t see here due to the crowd) in the middle of the concourse. during morning and evening rush hour.
(Today is the 100th anniversary of the day that the builders gave the stationmaster the key – but they didn’t actually open the doors until February 2nd).
In any event, it’s still one of my favorite places in the world, so despite the crowds, I still enjoy the fact that every one of my days for the past two years has involved passing through here at least once.
