New York's Iconic Times Square and Theatre District

By
Real Estate Agent

 The iconic, the colourful, slightly ostentacious, amazing, bustling, energizing and incredible Times Square! 

With tons of visitors what better place for billboards?  Actually the zoning ordinances actually require that all building owners have illuminated signs.   Did you know those signs are called "spectaculars", and that the really big ones are called jumbotrons?

   

Who hasn't watched the New Year's Eve Ball drop in Times Square?  I know watching it is still on my Bucket List! Although my daughter Rachel went this year - and said it wasn't all that much fun standing in the rain for 7 hours waiting for the ball to drop and no porta potties to be seen! :)

 

Times Square is also the centre of the Theater district, Mamma Mia, Memphis, Jersey Boys, Phantom, Lion King, oh there were so many plays and musicals I wanted to see and in the end I didn't see any!  Probably my only big regret.  But we did end up seeing the  opening of Eat, Love Pray in a movie theatre in the Theatre District and absolutely loved it.

P.S  Sad to say, we did NOT see the Naked Cowboy :-()-:

Liz, I felt you might only get comments about the Naked Cowboy but 1 is not bad...well now 2. Great photos. I remember as a young adult working for Braniff Airways flying to New York City for a 24 hour trip. We'd fly in and run around seeing the sights, have dinner and jump back on a plane to go home to Dallas, Texas. I got to travel and it was so fun! Hope you are having a wonderful trip. Love the photos!

You have done such a wonderful job with your collages, Liz!  I love them!  I am not sure I would want to attend the ball dropping in NY on New Years Eve - perfectly content to watch it on the tv in the warmth of my own home - besides, crowds drive me crazy.

HI Lisa - what great photos. I did not know that the signs were called spectaculars and jumbotrons. And it is something I would like to see as well, to watch the ball drop.
