The first thing I thought was, Rockefeller Center has a piece of its facade missing! Then I thought, who would demolish such a thing? I checked, and it’s the same old story. Outclassed by newer venues (such as the Spectrum) and no regular tenant, it comes down to this.

A real archeologial find! Can’t wait to take a look at all the photos I took.
