My Trip to the Times Square Visitor Center

By Sheila O'Malley, Contributing Writer

New York is obviously so full of things to see that even if you live here, it would take a lifetime to see it all. I definitely take it for granted sometimes, but then I'll have these moments where I suddenly realize, for example, "Holy crap, that is the Chrysler Building AND IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL."

The Disneyfication of New York City in the last 15 years has taken away a lot of the flavor of the place, especially Times Square, which I remember from my childhood visits here as being a scary fascinating place of smut shops, XXX movie halls, and peep shows featuring "live girls working their way through college". This is the main neighborhood of New York City, and that was its welcome mat for decades.

I enjoy going to museums and reading commemorative plaques as much as the next person, but I also like getting a glimpse of something weird/notable/bizarre, and going to investigate it further. The giant Charmin toilet paper "installation" is a perfect example, as well as the freaky place on 42nd Street called Pop Tart World. And there's a weird spot on Broadway on the north side of Times Square that is called the Times Square Visitor Center (1560 Broadway between 46th and 47th Street), which may seem like nothing that would hold any interest for me whatsoever, a place where tourists can get a map of the city, or buy T-shirts, keychains, get maps, and other crap to bring home from their visit. I went there only once before, when I was looking for Pop Tart World and needed directions. The atmosphere inside that Visitor Center was so bizarre that I knew I had to go back to check it out.


The entranceway is unassuming, a dark hallway announced by pink neon walls blaring: TIMES SQUARE VISITOR CENTER, and RIGHT THIS WAY on either side. It doesn't look like your regular tourist joint. It looks like the entrance to a seedy vaudevillian theatre featuring burlesque dancers who do erotic fan dances as bored men wearing fedoras and chomping on cigars look on.

'So You Think You Can Dance' Season 8 Top 20 Performance Recap (Take Two!)

Last week So You Think You Can Dance kicked off by the judges deciding to not eliminate any of the top 20 dancers -- at first from the series! But that means that this week two guys and two girls will be packing their bags. The dancers were also partners up with the same partners as last week.

Joining Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy on the judges panel was none other than dance legend and jazz hand enthusiast Debbie Reynolds!

Watch the Video for "I Wanna Go" by Britney Spears

Britney Spears has just released the video for the third single off her Femme Fatale album called "I Wanna Go." The song is a fan favorite and is (hopefully) going to be one of the contenders for "song of the summer 2011" because there is definitely a shortage of jams at the moment.

Check out the clip of Brit Brit telling people to eff off during a press conference, flashing cops, beating down robot paparazzi and riding away into the sunset with a milk-loving bear.


This video makes absolutely no sense to me, but I still kind of like it. Although Britney's not doing a very good job at selling her "I'm gonna be naughty" antics, at least she appears to have fun while doing it. Plus, I find it interesting that the clip starts out with Britney reference the famous "F*ck you, you're cool, I'm out" line from Half-Baked. Maybe Ms. Spears is a fan of stoner flicks. Would anyone be that surprised?

Overall, I kinda feel like Britney may not understand any of the puns, jokes and references that are flying around her in the video, but at least she's smiling and moving around a little bit, so what else can we ask for?
