Summary:

"With an eye for offbeat, telling details and a perspective that is at once sympathetic and critical, Chesluk documents how redevelopment has tried, sometimes successfully and sometimes not, to reshape the people and places of Times Square. The result is a colorful and engaging portrait, illustrated by photographs by long-time local photographer Maggie Hopp, of the street life, politics, economics, and cultural forces that mold America's urban centers."--Jacket.
