Jupiter, Holst

It is now called Grand Central Terminal, however this has not always been the case – preceding the present-day building, the original massive train station from the 1800′s was called Grand Central Station and was equated with the Eiffel Tower and the Crystal Palace in its day. I guess I’m stuck in the past, because that’s the name I will always use for this magnificent public space.
