St. Patrick's Cathedral once towered over surrounding buildings during the late 1870's. 
 And, it's still a main attraction especially during the annual St Patrick's day parade.

  • The Ice Skating Rink at Rockefeller Center first opened on Christmas Day, in 1936. 
    The surface is 122 feet long, by 59 feet wide.   And, while charging $17 bucks per skater,  it's also become a profitable bizness achievement, as well.

    Could it be true?   Spectators actually watch more closely, when the

  • Ice resurfacer   cleans up.  
  •  This device was invented in 1949, by Frank Zamboni.   And, it's coming to a Hockey-rink near you.
