They are large screens with bright advertisements flashing, huge traffic and yellow taxis. Those are some things that should come to your mind when you hear ‘Times Square’. This New York square was used to be called Longacre Square. It was renamed in 1904 when the New York Times editorial office moved to the New York Times Building (today One Times Square). Times Square owes more than just its name to the newspaper. The owner of the newspaper contributed to the construction of a metro station here.
