that's the middle portico between -- the equivalent of 32nd street. you enter a shopping concourse lit by sunlight. because there are light courts on both sides, that go down to the railroad tracks three stories below. you get to a beautiful -- there is a beautiful veranda overlooking the concourse which we'll get to in a moment. you had your cheap quick food on the right, your expensive table cloth restaurant on the left. you went down the steps into this magnificent waiting room that is parallel with seventh and eighth avenue. and then when your train was called you went to the train concourse which i outlined in blue, because it was all sky lit. if you're coming by foot from 33rd or 31st street, you would enter in the middle of the block, you can see a portico there in the middle of the elevation, and walk over a pedestrian bridge with cars and taxis underneath you. enter a balcony overlooking the concourse, the waiting room, come down a grand stair and you were in the waiting room as well. it was brilliantly thought through. here is what it looked

the end porticos were for taxis and cars brought you down ramps so when you arrived at the middle of the block you were one level before the street at the level of great waiting room on the way to the train concourses that faced eighth avenue. it is the same today, just not very elegant but still laid out that way today. this all was part of a transportation complex that was long distance and necessitated the building of the held gate bridge and from new york access to new england and also became the nexus of an electric commuter system, the long island railroad to the east and jersey transit to the with move to the suburbings whether it was montclair, new jersey or great neck. they were getting away from my grandparents. they came from russia and the old middle class of new york got up and left. these electric railroad commuter systems allowed them to do it. in 20 minutes you could be in some deep part of jersey or the north shore of long island. the city's going to change in the next 20 years. now f the we look at the plan of penn station on the left, seventh avenue is below, there
