I can see how passing through Grand Central everyday you could become complacent to it. I'm glad you had a moment to actually stop and look at all the beauty there.

Vpnever once stepped foot in the City, much less the State of New York. Flash forward 35 years. some friends and I spent a whirlwind 4 days and 3 nights in the City. I was aweestruck from the moment I got off the train. One can see a million pictures of New York City-or movies for that matter- but the magnitude of the structures cannot be seen in pictures. it can only be "felt" firsthand. I could spend days at each unique building to take in the history! Thank you for this post-it brought back wonderful memories of those 4 days of looking beyond the limestone and concrete that surrounded me!Patti Vanderbloemenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899971311953499881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806686507038523712.post-52322292788077225082013-06-09T05:13:04.990-04:002013-06-09T05:13:04.990-04:00Great blog I love to read your articles :)Great blog I love to read your articles :)Ivanasworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422255771430115336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806686507038523712.post-42057178666326414952013-06-09T03:29:17.526-04:002013-06-09T03:29:17.526-04:00Not sure, but the bas relief figures represent tra...Not sure, but the bas relief figures represent trading/business of communication, light, speed products; the types of things Graybar sells and works with.<br /><br />Aren't those rats something- I saw them on a quick trip.

You really are in the midst of all kinds of hustle and bustle in the morning. And what a great place to look for interesting typography - Grand Central Station and neighboring buildings! I love looking at the details in old buildings so this post was really a treat! And what a beautiful, old mail slot. I one that was similar in an old hotel in downtown Richmond earlier in the year. Not something I see everyday, that's for sure.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16954185877461502547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806686507038523712.post-3156650499411721992013-06-08T22:24:22.303-04:002013-06-08T22:24:22.303-04:00Most excellent!
