#balldrop — Public Fediverse posts

I worked in 7 Times Square (a.k.a. Times Square Tower), directly across from 1 Times Square #NYC. We would watch them test patterns on the #ball and test it going up & down.
I went from walking to a #LawFirm at 7 Times Square, to commuting to a law firm at 7 World Trade (across from One World Trade, the #WorldTradeCenter). When I started, #1WTC hadn't opened, the construction elevator still on its face.

The #NYTimes outgrew the building quickly. Apparently, the #printing presses in the basement were so affected by the #subway underneath, they had to put sand under them! They moved to a huge #building on 43rd & stayed there until 2007, expanding to 44th.
Owner Ochs started the #NewYear's celebrations on Dec 31, 1904, & for years they just lit fireworks on the roof until the city outlawed it. The ball drop started that year, 1908.

Life got rough these last few weeks, so I had to cut the 12 Days of Sketchmas a bit short this year. Here’s the my last sketch… Day 8: “Ball Drop"

PSA: If you start When Harry Met Sally (DVD) at exactly 10:30.34 pm on New Year's Eve, your midnight will be cinematically synced with 1989's #BallDrop. Happy #NewYears / #NewYearsEve! 🍾🥂

Note: I'm told the UK version has a slightly different runtime and you would need to start at 10:34:09 though I can't independently confirm.
