Remember Me To…

The Supreme Court recently struck down a law in New York that prohibited the carrying of guns. A new law has been passed which places restrictions on the carrying of guns within the area known as Times Square. This has led to a new discussion as to exactly where Times Square starts and ends.

I have no opinion on this question. If you showed me a picture of certain buildings and landmarks, I'd say, "Yep, that's Times Square." The TKTS booth, the statue of George M. Cohan and the tower from which they drop the ball on New Year's Eve are definitely in Times Square, no doubt about it. But obviously, certain streets and blocks are more arguable. Here's an article about the debate.

As Ben Franklin says in the musical 1776, "Every map maker in the world is waiting for your answer."
