DESCRIPTION

Once associated with Broadway premieres and New Year’s Eve, Times Square has more recently been known more for its porn shops, prostitutes, and other purveyors of questionable moral fiber. Starting a decade ago, everything began to change. The city shuttered the flesh shops, buildings closed for renovation, and a wonderfully whimsical collection of wordplay appeared on the abandoned movie marquees that stretched down 42nd Street. These enchanting, inspiring, even uplifting snippets are collected here in postcard form, for enjoying and sharing.
