Tourism in america
New York is perhaps one of the most amazing places to visit and live in of the United States. So much history has been made that it is amazing how it all began. One of the most interesting places to visit is Time Square. However, not to long ago Time square was not a desired place to visit. According to Peterson, in the late 80s, it was a place for prostitutes’ pimps, peep shows, and scam artists to line the streets. It had adopted the named “The Crossroads of the World” (241). Well before that there was a recession and many businesses had to close down because of newly constructed towers around Time Square. This forced many companies bankrupted. Crime was at an all time high and drugs were sold night day on the streets. There was no enough money to fund for public safely and sanitation. However, in the early 90s, a new legal act was formed to help improve tourism in Time Square.
