New York NY, NY Penn Station has been the bane of commuters for as long as we can remember . Since the original Penn Stations destruction in the 1960s, the station has become something mythic, a sacrificial lamb to the cause of historic preservation. Unfortunately for commuters the current Penn Station leaves much to be desired it is and had been a dump for generations .
