New York City, NY, 1994 - the Times Square Business Development Corporation let us shoot several Network Ids inside many of the ornate movie palaces that used to line "the Deuce".

Closed since 1986, the theaters were time capsules with architecture dating back to the early 20th century. (D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation premiered in the Liberty theater back in 1915).

Most of these theaters were destroyed to make way for the "new" Times Square.
