Don't miss out amazing pictures! hit the page down! I wish I know who took those pictures to give credit to. I labeled all the websites and places where I found those pictures.
Grand Central Terminal opened its doors for business for the very first time 100 years ago. According to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Grand Central Terminal is the largest railroad terminal in the world. Opened on February 2, 1913, when trains were a luxurious means of traveling across America, the iconic New York landmark with its Beaux-Arts facade is an architectural gem, and still one of America's greatest transportation hubs. It is also the Big Apple's second-most-popular tourist attraction, after Times Square.
I could never miss the lights shows here. There are laser lighting shows every year at the Grand Central. This also is my best place for shopping in New York City. Following are great pictures of my favorite terminal that I found on the Internet through Google search. I would like to put them all together in this post, all my favorite in one place for the love of Grand Central Terminal on it 100th birthday. Hope you like these photos collection as much as I do. And go to the bottom of the page for links if you need more information for Grand Central Terminal.
