reading notes: Times Square Dead or Alive

Time Square is Alive if you really look at the facts of the place. It has changed with the times. It keeps getting better. It was a media center, a distasteful center and now sure it is an advertisement/ commercial center but it is still there. Thousands of people go to Time Square everyday, be it as commuters or tourists. It almost seems that the history of the square is not important but it is the experience of the place. New York has a lot of places that make it New York, time square can be one of them. It still has the energy it had back in the day, it has just changed. They have cleaned Time Square up, it is regulated by private corporation, but it's it better than having the strip clubs, gang wars and the prostitutes that it once had. Some times change is good and right now the change is more advertisement and commercial. Next time it changes maybe it will give you a different feeling and be more unique, but right now it is what it is and as long as the people still keep going to see it, it is alive.
