4. Universal Studios Stage 28: The oldest stage on the Universal lot, it was home to the Opera House set from the 1924 Phantom of the Opera film. In 2014, Universal demolished it to make room for more theme park bullshit. Not even a petition was enough to prevent its destruction. Thankfully, the Opera House set was preserved and presumably put in storage.
5. Times Square: Now I know what you're thinking; "But Jared, Times Square still exists!" Oh, it does. But it's not the Times Square that your Daddy grew up with. Ever since that dunce Rudy Giuliani started a modernization project in the '90s, Times Square's trademark grittiness has slowly been replaced with a clutter of big business and annoying tourists backing up traffic. One of the last holdouts of the old Times Square was Howard Johnson's, but that closed in 2005, replaced by American Eagle Outfitters. If by chance you happen to find a building in the area that has not been affected, please by all means save it from "modernization".
