Do you know how Times Square got its name?
If you’ve ever been to Times Square before or have seen photos in any capacity, then you’d have seen images of the main building right in the middle. The structure now, is known for its flashy signs and billboards all over it, but it’s not how it originally started. The building originated as the main hub for the New York Times publication. It didn’t take long for the Times to outgrow the building though, and it is now virtually abandoned on the inside. What remains, is a solid structure in a perfect location making it a prime spot to advertise on. As you can imagine, Times Square has become the mecca of advertising.
