NYC Rockefeller Center 3678a

I find Rockefeller Center (this and adjacent pictures) to be an important emotional site when in NYC. Built at the worst points in the Depression, I see the art and architecture of Rockefeller Center as expressing what was seen as the potential of America at that time, but with strong acknowledgement of the tension between the libertarian 'free enterprise' spirit of America and the communitarian spirit of the labor movement of that time. That is, as expressing the tensions between self-advancement and community building that always exist.

Makes most sense if viewed as part of Coming Out/Northeast set
