Paving Paradise

The Infrastructurist - America Under Construction lamented 11 Beautiful Train Stations That Fell To The Wrecking Ball (And The Crappy Stuff Built In Their Place).

#1 is truly a disaster from 1963 when Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan was torn down for Madison Square Garden.





The train station is still the busiest in the world, but you might as well be in a subway station.

#11- Detroit's Michigan Central Station still exists but is in trouble. The others have been replaced by vacant lots, parking lots, highway interchanges and buildings of all different types.

But then I think about some of the stations that have been preserved, even if they are not necessarily train stations anymore. I have been to St. Louis Union Station, Washington D.C. Union Station, Union Station Chicago, and the best and brightest (in my humble opinion)

Grand Central Station in New York.
