the main facade of nyc's grand central terminal

built in 1913, one of the world's best known landmarks. here's how nbc radio announced the opening of this remarkable structure:
"as a bullet train seeks its target, shining rails in every part of our great country are aimed at grand central station, heart of the nation's greatest city. drawn by the magnetic force of the fantastic metropolis, day and night great trains rush toward the hudson river, sweep down its eastern bank for 140 miles. flash briefly by the long red row of tenement houses south of 125th Street, dive with a roar into the 2 1/2 mile tunnel which burrows beneath the glitter and swank of park avenue and then... grand central station! crossroads of a million lives! and a gigantic stage on which are played a thousand dramas daily." click here if you want to learn more!
