Perhaps this summer you spent a lot of time in Penn Station, waiting for the mad rush to get on a train to the Hamptons or Fire Island. Perhaps you thought to yourself, for the Nth summer in a row, God, weren’t they supposed to fix this hellhole? Well, the short answer is yes, but not anytime soon. Nobody wants to pay for the overhaul of the Farley Post Office Building across the street to turn it into the lovely theoretical Moynihan Station. But today it was reported that Amtrak is onboard once again with the plan, which will at least help. [NYDN]
