If it had not been for Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, a high-rise would have been built over Granc Central Station...she also saved the air-rights thieves from ruining St. Bartholemew's Church on Park Avenue as well as having Radio City Music Hall razed. She did New York City proud.

I love seeing old grandies like this saved and maintained... a nephew had a rehearsal dinner in the old train station in Kansas City a few years back... definitely the most memorable part of the weekend...
