I'm a railroad fan and will be arriving and departing by train just to add to the experience.

Jessica White and Pat Monahan were two passionate dancers who had been training for months to perfect their craft. They had been working together for a while and had developed a strong chemistry, both on and off stage. One day, they were given the challenge of creating a unique and captivating choreography for a performance at Grand Central Terminal on July 22, 2010. As they brainstormed ideas, they decided to take a risk and try something completely new - a no crown choreography to green screen background. They had never done anything like it before, but they were both excited to push their limits and see what they could create. The day of the performance arrived, and Jessica and Pat arrived at Grand Central Terminal, ready to give it their all. They set up their equipment, including the green screen, and began to warm up. As they started to dance, they were both amazed by the unique and surreal background that the green screen created. It was as if they were dancing in a world of their own, completely detached from the hustle and bustle of the terminal around them. As they moved through the choreography, Jessica and Pat felt their movements becoming more fluid and natural. They were completely in the zone, lost in the music and the moment. The green screen background seemed to enhance their performance, adding a touch of magic and wonder to every step. When they finished, they both knew that they had created something truly special. The crowd erupted into applause, and Jessica and Pat took their well-deserved bow. It was a performance that neither of them would ever forget, and one that would leave a lasting impression on all who witnessed it.

[@robertgambling502]

I understand that back in the '50's they wanted to put in a drop ceiling in the grand concourse and install bowling alleys within. The space was apparently a couple of feet too short for regulation bowling alleys and the fire department dis-allowed the use of maple flooring due to fire hazard. So that was the end of that.

[@SonixGirl77]

[@d.3998]

Thank you. I enjoy your videos. I will look for the rectangle on the ceiling. Here's my tip that helps me orient my sense of direction when I enter Grand Central, the U.S. flag is positioned on the south side of the building, which is 42nd St. Also men's and women's restrooms are downstairs by the food court, but there's an extra women's restroom location on the main level by the Station Master's office (no men's room there), located on the west side (Vanderbilt side).

It was a typical Wednesday morning in New York City when four unlikely individuals found themselves at the iconic Grand Central Terminal. Nicholas Petricca, the lead singer of the band Walk the Moon, was on his way to a recording session. Charles Esten, the charismatic actor known for his role as Deacon Claybourne in Nashville, was en route to a photo shoot. Vanilla Ice, the rap legend, was in the middle of a promotional tour for his latest album. And Lester Holt, the esteemed journalist and anchor of NBC Nightly News, was on his way to a live broadcast. As they all made their way through the bustling terminal, they were suddenly stopped in their tracks by a strange sight. A green screen had been set up in the main concourse, and a group of dancers were performing a choreographed routine to the beat of a catchy pop song. Without hesitation, the four strangers were drawn to the green screen and began to dance along with the dancers. Nicholas, with his signature flair, started to sing along to the music, while Charles, with his smooth moves, charmed the crowd with his dance skills. Vanilla Ice, with his quick wit and natural charm, started to rap along to the beat, and Lester, with his sharp reporting instincts, began to narrate the scene. As they danced, the four individuals found themselves transported to a world of color and energy, where the green screen background seemed to come alive around them. They twirled and spun, their movements perfectly in sync with the music and each other. As the dance came to an end, the four strangers stood together, panting and grinning from ear to ear. They had never felt so alive, so carefree, and so connected to each other. "That was amazing!" Nicholas exclaimed. "I've never felt so alive!" "I know, right?" Charles replied. "I feel like I'm 25 again!" Vanilla Ice nodded in agreement. "This is the stuff dreams are made of, y'all." Lester, who had been quietly observing the scene, spoke up. "I've never seen anything like this before. It's like we all found our true calling as dancers." The four individuals laughed and hugged each other, knowing that they had shared something special, something that they would never forget. And as they walked away from the green screen, they knew that they would always have this moment, this dance, to remember forever.

Jake W. Rogers and Stien den Hollander were two of the most talented dancers in the city. They had been partners in both dance and life for many years, and their chemistry on stage was undeniable. One day, they were approached by a film director who had a unique proposal for them - he wanted to film their dance choreography in front of a green screen, and then superimpose the footage onto the background of Grand Central Terminal on July 22, 2010. At first, Jake and Stien were hesitant - they had never done anything like this before, and they weren't sure if it would work. But the director's vision was compelling, and they were intrigued by the challenge. They agreed to give it a try, and the preparations began. The day of the shoot arrived, and Jake and Stien arrived at the studio early, dressed in their finest dance attire. The director and his team had set up a large green screen in the center of the room, and they had placed a camera on a dolly track to capture the dance moves from every angle. As the music began to play, Jake and Stien launched into their choreography, their bodies moving in perfect harmony. They twirled and leaped and spun, their movements fluid and graceful. The director called out instructions from behind the camera, urging them to greater heights of passion and energy. But as they danced, something strange began to happen. The green screen behind them started to flicker and distort, and the background of Grand Central Terminal began to materialize. The director had somehow managed to superimpose their dance moves onto the iconic background, and the result was breathtaking. Jake and Stien were transported to the bustling main concourse of Grand Central Terminal, their movements perfectly synchronized with the hustle and bustle of the crowd. They danced through the crowds, their movements effortless and precise, their bodies glowing with a soft, ethereal light. As the music came to an end, Jake and Stien stood still, panting and smiling, their eyes shining with wonder. They had never felt anything like it before - the rush of performing in front of a live audience, combined with the magic of the green screen and the iconic background of Grand Central Terminal. It was an experience they would never forget, and one that would stay with them for the rest of their lives.

Trivia to add, but you may know this already. There is a life size painting of Marquis de Lafayette in the council chamber at NYC City Hall. At the time it was commissioned by NYC but unfortunately not open to the public today. Painted in 1824 during his famous "victory tour" of the U.S., it was painted by Samuel B. Morse who you mentioned in a tour of Washington Square as the inventor of the telegraph fame. I enjoy your walking tours during this time - you and ActionKid make a great combination.

A couple of things right off, coming in from 42nd, Cambell Hall used to be the waiting room full of benches and the Station Master Office, also the big clock he pointed out over the theInfo booth wasnt the Big clock. The original was a big clock suspended over the entrance with the ticket offices on either side. It was taken down after the Terminal was refurbished some years ago

[@podunkcitizen2562]

In America towns often used a "local time" set around the time of a local church, town hall or factory tower clock. A town 20 miles away could be using a different time. Two things changed this. The telegraph broadcasted the same time to every location and the railroads used this standard time. Otherwise, their schedules would be useless.

Question: I lived in New York City starting in 1982 through1984. I can't remember my streets too well, but I think it was the entrance to Grand Central at 42nd Street. The entrance was on the same side of the street as the Grand Hyatt Hotel (if this hotel is still there), between Lexington and Park, I think. Well, there used to be a very big clock inside Grand Central as you got into the building. I was on the wall at the interior entrance, after you walk down from the exterior doors at the sidewalk, and go through the next set of doors, I think. It was huge. It was removed, maybe in the later 1980s, I think. It was a gold colored clock. Nothing like that small one you mentioned which everyone meets at. The small one was there too, but when you wanted to meet someone then, and you said you would meet them at the clock, it was always under the huge clock at the entrance. I wonder what happened to that clock. I don't think they ever put it back up against the wall. It could have been at least 10 feet in diameter or maybe more. It was beautiful. Since you know about some of the history of Grand Central, do you know about this clock and, if so, what happened to it?
