I'm thinking that the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission should probably be a redirect to a larger article about NYC Landmarks Law, its history, purpose, etc. Chuck 18:45, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Moved the following from the page, and instead changed the location listed in the text of the page (which was listed as Madison Square) Jxan3000 03:51, 7 January 2007 (UTC):

There is an error in this article. Madison Square Garden was located near Madison Square until 1924 when the great Stanford White building, where he was murdered, was demolished to build the current New York Life tower. At the time, the Garden moved to 50th Street and Eighth Avenue where it remained until replaced by the current version, but retained its famous name. The 50th Street venue was famous for boxing matches and political rallies. I am old enough to remember it. The 50th Street 8th Avenue subway stop featured a tile sign saying "Madison Square Garden" until its demolition.

[edit] March 2008

I just blew up the article! I started off saying 'oh I'll just add a source' about its role and of course it exploded. I'm not sure I'm happy with the layout and I know the history/decisions still need significant expansion (and are so-tagged). Sources, for anyone who might have time to tackle this befor I get back to it:

I've put the article on my to-do list, but I think this one needs serious collaboration to make sure it's comprehensive. Thoughts? TRAVELLINGCARIMy storyTell me yours 03:37, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
