They should've included photos of the current Penn Station in all its dilapidated strip mall glory, complete with indoor beggars left free to bug you for a dollar while you try to pay for a slice of pizza. I guess putting the two side-by-side would spell out too clearly the direction in which we're sliding.

I take it you haven't seen the current Penn Station. The 2020 renovation was quite nice.

What, Moynihan Hall, the separate structure across the street? Dilapidated Penn Station remains.

They renovated the main LIRR section as well. They raised the ceiling by 10 to 15 feet and added large LED skyboxes. All new retail spaces. Clear signage. It looks great, actually.

Yea, the LIRR section of Penn Station is really nice now.

I don't think I'd call it "really nice". It's better than it was.

Moynihan Hall is legitimately nice though, and as I understand it they're still working on the rest Penn. It's getting better!

This comment is seriously uniformed as one can clearly see by all the responses garnered, or a quick stop by the place.

I'm there in person on a weekly basis. Better to be experienced than informed.

I've been 1000s times over the last 25 years. Penn Station has never looked better over that time frame.
