[PRCo] Pennsylvania Station

[Herb Brannon]

That was a good program, just finished watching it.

I do remember, several years ago, a "60 Minutes" (or a similar type news)
program which told a story about a group in New York who were trying to get
money to renovate the old US Post Office Building, just across the street
from Madison Square Garden, as a replacement for the old Pennsylvania
Station. That building was shown, very quickly, in one of the shots of the
Pennsylvania Station in the program tonight. I remember it was stated, back
then, that the architecture was similar and the building was no longer
being used by USPS. I never followed what became of that project.
