a
major intersection of two famous streets,
42nd Street and
Broadway, in the heart of
New York City. In the mid-nineteenth century,
Broadway attracted many theater producers due to its
central location. The number and size of
Broadway's theaters grew as
New York City increased in population and influence, until the brightly lighted street became known in the 1890s as "The
Great White Way" (in
reference to the brilliant street illumination). The
area has remained an extremely busy entertainment center with bustling crowds of people, bright
lights, restaurants and
active movie and
stage theaters. Do you know that I could stand
right here on the
corner of 42nd and
Broadway and kiss you and there isn't one
single person would even glance in your direction.
