I'm very sad to hear the latest news about the Hotel Pennsylvania in NYC. The Hotel is now at risk for demolition in the city's latest plan to extend Penn Station's footprint. Also at risk are St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church, The Stewart Hotel, and the Penn Station Service Building.
The Hotel is well known for music and dancing history, as it was home to the Cafe Rouge. In the 1930's and 1940's had a big band remote connection to the NBC Radio Network, and was famous for performances by The Glenn Miller Orchestra, The Andrews Sisters, and Count Basie.
