I was around the area this morning - and it looked pretty awful, trash and boarded windows

Wow boarded windows. People were expecting the worst.

Then if the comedian is known for making offensive jokes why was he invited to the rally?
In any case - why have I not been banned? Who is asleep at the switch here?
Come on mods - wake the fuck up!

Like I said, do we really want to get into this back-and-forth bickering about politics on a forum about construction?
I don’t want to drive away users by being too harsh in moderation, but I don’t want this forum to devolve into an unfocused Facebook-like sh*tshow free-for-all.
I don’t know what to do.
I’ve been criticized for moderating in the past. So fine, I’ll just leave everything and let some other mod decide.

You are a great Mod.
You have been quite fair minded. However, Mods often do more harm than they do help - here is some insight into the issue.
This issue is well know, and openly discussed on various other discussion: the ‘petty tyrant’ problem. There is no easy answer to this problem.

Could we please stop the discussion about politics (yes next week is the presidential election) from this topic and also in this forum. I don’t want to delete any posts from you members.

This was the most beautiful MSG that existed in New York.

What I would like to know, are there any visible remnants left from the previous iterations of Madison Square Garden?
You mean from other building sites?

I assume he means from the location of MSG I and II at Madison and 26th or MSG III at 8th between W 49/50th. I assume there’s nothing left of any of them but would be happy to be wrong if someone knows better.

I don’t think there are any remains of MSG 2, as this building was completely demolished in the mid-1920s. I found a picture on Getty-Images of the statue of Diana (standing next to a group of men). I suspect that the statue may still exist.

You can visit the statue of Diana at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Admission $30.00 
The old MSG boxing ring is up at the boxing hall of fame in upstate New York.
Admission is only $15.50, about half of what it costs to visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art. They probably have free parking as well.
Just keep in mind that the boxing hall of fame, for reasons I can never understand, is closed on December 26.
