i'm all for restoring penn to its former glory, but i kinda thought the extent to which that was ever realistically gonna happen was moynihan hall. plus... what's the point of moynihan hall, if penn is rebuilt in place of msg? i mean i'm all for more space, don't get me wrong, but msg + moynihan is a 4 block footprint. even for penn that seems like overkill, or at least, it seems like something the city wouldn't do. the biggest problem with penn is it's a fucking maze of mishmashed hallways, tunnels, and disparate waiting areas. if it were open and spacious like the original, moynihan would seem kind of redundant.

but now that i think about it, if they're gonna rebuild MSG between 6th and 7th, is there any opportunity to lean even further into it and expand access to the platforms all the way over to 6th ave where they could connect penn to NQRW/BDFM and PATH trains? that might actually be a really cool opportunity to really improve things -- or fuck midtown up even more spectacularly, lol.
