Times Square

New York City's Times Square has lived through its fair share of incarnations, from the entertainment hub of the 1910s to the seedy den of vice in the '70s to the glittering photo-op that it is today. The Square has taken on a polarizing persona in the past couple decades, becoming the go-to destination for tourists looking to check another spot off the list; this comes much to the dismay of locals, who have seen the square lose much of its mid-century panache. A new plan for the redesign of Times Square looks to mesh these two perspectives in order to create a more harmonious balance between local and tourist.
