Thirty Rockefeller Plaza

Times Square, New York City

A Preview

"Follow the line of flags in toward the tall building at the end of the promenade. Eight floors up inside it is a room that has been going out live to the entire country since before the Second World War, and it has never once done the job it was built to do. The whole complex went up in the worst years of the Depression, which is the only reason it looks like this."
