They again are talking about demolishing the towers at Flushing Meadows Park. That would be a shame. The City refuses to make them a city landmark. I have fond memories of these towers from the 64 World's Fair and even visited the top. What wonderful memories. The City claims they are in danger of collapse. They wanted to demolish the Parachute Jump at Coney Island, too. Why do we have to demolish old historic buildings, like Yankee Stadium, when they can be repaired at a much lower cost? The answer must be economics. The City is looking for profits. The new Stadium will yield more for the City. Also, aren't the towers used by pilots coming into LGA as a landmark?
