YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

With its brightly lit billboards, costumed characters, and Broadway theater New York's Times Square is known as the crossroads of the world. In non-pandemic years, the square hosted 50 million tourists. But just 40 years ago Times Square was a very different place. It's streets were crime-ridden and featured adult theaters as the main source of entertainment. Cheddar explains how Times Square went from this to one of the top tourist attractions in the world.
