If I were to ask a non-New Yorker what places come to mind when they think of New York City, he/she would probably say, “Times Square, Broadway, 34^th Street, etc …. “, or some other place that has been overly glamorized within the media. I, too, am guilty of the same thing because such aforementioned places allow us to indulge in the excesses of entertainment, socialization, and other hedonistic pleasures we desire to fulfill in our daily lives. Oddly enough, Grand Central Terminal (GCT) would probably be mentioned among the last few named (if it was even remembered at all) due to the increase of commercial airline travel. And honestly, when visiting NYC, do you know anyone with “Visit Grand Central” on their tourist “to-do” list? But to a true New Yorker, GCT is probably the most vital entry point into Manhattan, and the massive overcrowding that is encountered during the morning and evening rush hours on the Grand Central 42^nd Street subway platform proves its necessity for commuter traveling today. Or maybe if the 9/11 Grand Central “terrorist attack” of 1976 had been as fatal or highly publicized as the 9/11 World Trade Center “terrorist attack” of 2001, it might have had its own memorial museum. But let’s face it, people don’t just “go” to GCT; they simply pass through it in coffee-induced stupors. And for these reasons, I would love to get to know and understand GCT on a more personal basis.
