Times Square is a 1980 film, set in New York City, starring Trini Alvarado and Robin Johnson as teenage runaways from opposite sides of the tracks, and Tim Curry as a radio DJ. The plot of the film embodies a punk rock ethic of misunderstood youth articulating their frustrations toward adult authority through music.
Nicky Marotta (Robin Johnson) and Pamela Pearl (Trini Alvarado) are two teenage girls who meet in the New York Neurological Hospital, where they are both being examined for mental illness. Pamela feels lonely and misunderstood, and is neglected and exploited by her father, a prominent and wealthy environmental commissioner running a campaign to "clean up" Times Square. Nicky is a tough-talking street kid with musical aspirations, sent to the hospital for an evaluation after an altercation with the police. Sharing a room, the frank Nicky and the shy Pamela become friends; Nicky tells Pamela that she stages seizures to keep out of juvenile detention. Nicky admires Pamela's poetic spirit; Pamela admires Nicky's forthright attitude, and resents the condescending way in which the doctors treat her. Nicky tells Pamela not to take her meds as they "take your fight away." She also reads a poem that Pamela wrote about her: "Your ribs are my ladder, Nicky/I'm so amazed, I'm so amazed." Nicky is released from the hospital, and later returns, ostensibly for an appointment for her social worker, but really to break Pamela out. Both girls escape from the hospital, steal an ambulance, and hide out in an abandoned Chelsea Piers No.56 on the Hudson River. Pamela and Nicky seal their devotion to each other with a blood oath and make a pact to scream out each other's names in times of trouble.
A politician's troubled daughter learns (with the aid of a street smart punk) that to find yourself, you first have to jump off into the darkness. Starring: Tim Curry, Trini Alvarado, Robin Johnson 1980 drama

This is a tour of New York City in November of 1987! You get to see how it really was on the bustling streets of Manhattan nearly 30 years ago. Look at the vintage cars, the way people dressed, the store fronts and what was in style during the amazing 1980's! In Part 1, The tour moves across each avenue, from Lexington, to Park Avenue, Madison Avenue, 5th Avenue, etc. In Part 2, you will travel to Times Square. Back then, it was a bit seedy, coming off the near bankruptcy of NYC in the late 1970's. You will see store fronts and marquises that were NOT very family friendly. All that changed in the 1990's during a period of revitalization. You will see hints of Broadway and you'll even get a performance from what appears to be a very happy New Yorker. Performance indeed! Later, you ...

You actually see the guy get out of the car and try to attack a few people while trying to escape.
The video show the shocking moment a person runs down more than 20 people at Times Square on May 18, 2017. Witnesses said the motorist mounted the sidewalk in a burgundy Honda sedan and sped along for more than three city blocks, knocking people over before the car hit a pole and came to rest at 45th Street and Broadway in Midtown Manhattan. Police who took the driver into custody identified him as Richard Rojas, 26, of the New York City borough of the Bronx. Initial reports of the incident brought to mind vehicle attacks on pedestrians in recent months in Britain, France, Germany, Israel and Sweden. Security camera footage showed the car slam into pedestrians who moments earlier were ambling along, some carrying shopping bags and others pushing baby strollers.
A vehicle has driven on to a crowded pavement in New York City's Times Square, reportedly killing one person and injuring several others. The driver is in custody and the area has been sealed off, according to the New York Police Department. At least 13 patients were being treated at the scene, according to the New York Fire Department. The vehicle reportedly jumped the kerb at 7th Avenue and 45th St near the city's popular tourist spot. Police reportedly said the driver "lost control" and the collision appeared to be an accident. They added the incident was not connected to terrorism, CBS reported. But a witness told Reuters the vehicle drove against traffic before hitting the kerb and striking pedestrians. Images on social media showed people being taken away on stretchers. New Y...

Formerly named Longacre Square, #Times Square was renamed in April 1904 after the New York Times moved its headquarters to the newly built Times Building, which is now called One Times Square and is the site of the annual ball drop on New Years Eve. Times Square, nicknamed "The Crossroads of the World" and "The Great White Way", has achieved the status of an iconic world landmark and is a symbol of New York City and the United States.

What can I, what can I do for you, honey?
Buy you a coffee? Lend you some money?
Walk you to Times Square, walk to the moon? What can I, what can I, what
Can I do what can I do?
Oh, it's been a long time, but it's been about right. You're looking like
You need a kiss or a fight.
Without my love you don't know how to live.
Is there somebody, somebody else who could make it worth it?
Somebody else? Somebody else? Somebody else?
And I know you're alone, most of the day.
I know you spend night the very same way.
I know you're not with somebody new, I won't break his heart to fix you.
And I think, and I prey, about last September.
As time goes by, I barely remember.
And I know you say you would change that night.
But I was never yours, and you're no longer mine.
Oh, I'd like to kiss you, but my lips are purple.
And I'd like to love you, but our love is spent.
And we wasted our wishes, hurt our best friends, made a home in heart ache,
And now can't pay the rent.
So, what can I, what can I do for you, honey?
I'm not a movie star, pretty play bunny.
I'm just a lucky hack fooling myself.
If you want perfection look to somebody else.
Somebody else, somebody else, somebody else.
And I know you're alone, most of the day.
I know you spend night the very same way.
I know you're not with somebody new.
I won't break his heart to fix you.
And I think, and I prey, about last September.
As time goes by, I barely remember.
And I know you say you would change that night.
But I was never yours and you're no longer mine.
So, what can I, what can I do for you, honey?
Buy you a coffee? Lend you some money?
Walk you to Times Square, walk to the moon?
What can I, what can I, what can I, what can I, what can I, what can I,
What can I, what can I, what can I, what can I do?
