Do you or anyone know if there is some kind of zoning law that limits/ puts a majority of billboards at a certain the height in Times Square? I noticed that most of the jumbo screens like the Marriott Marquis, American Eagle Oufitters, and those on 1540 Broadway across from Marriott Marquis, all stop at a certain height above the street. Is that because of zoning to allow sunlight and not create a dark canyon, or a mix of careful observance in which advertisers know the human eye can only see up to a certain angle before the eyes can’t make a clear judgement of something beyond their peripheral? Always wondered about this

^^ Funny… I thought about the same when I was there a few days ago!

This is making serious progress.
I agree. It’s not very tall or complex, so it should top out by the spring.
Great photo, 5B.
Thanks RW. I’ve worked in this neighborhood since the mid-90’s so have a pretty good catalogue of the changes [EDIT - I like it better in B&W]

I look forward to seeing your other photos, 5B. This area has changed and (improved) dramatically. I think that it will get even better in the coming years.
