Yeah blighted seems harsh but compare it to the newly updated area around grand central and it looks pretty bad in comparison.

I'm just not a believer that a street that looks like a cacophony of filth has much that's sacrosanct. If people have great memories of eating hot dogs on a corner, then they'll have those memories forever.

“Cacophony of filth”. That is the description I’ve been looking for to describe this area. I hate having to go here. Skeve central.

Nuke it from orbit comes to mind too.

I've been in and out of Penn at least a thousand times and all of the memories that stick out involve vomit or low-speed car accidents.

It’s not too bad, bit of a desert/vacuum though

It’s full of homeless encampments and people setting trash on the side of the street
