I need a picture of Times Square in December of 1999, and I need the
NASDAQ board to be in the picture. It doesn't have to be the center of
attention, just clearly visible.

Request for Question Clarification by bobbie7-ga on 13 Oct 2003 09:43 PDT

Hello Punkchick,

The Nasdaq screen was unveiled on December 28, 1999. I located a clear
picture of the NASDAQ board taken that night with Mayor Giuliani and
another person standing in front of it.

Would this image be of your interest?

Thanks,

Bobbie7

Yes, that would be of interest to me, however I'd also be interested
in an image on a larger scale: one where you can see the NASDAQ board
in the context of Times Square with the crowd below.

Hi Punkchick!

I found a couple of photos of the Nasdaq Board with cars going down
the street, in front of the board, or with people crossing the street
in the picture. NO crowds though. Unfortunately, these pictures are
not from December 1999.

They are from:
September 1, 2000 
December 2001 
January 6, 2000
and one from 2002 

I did find one very clear overall picture of Times Square with a crowd
taken in the evening of December 31, 1999; however, I'm not sure if
the Nasdaq Board is visible.


Perhaps additional details for the picture you require will help
researchers find a more suitable image for you.

Please let me know how to proceed as I do not want to post an answer
that would not satisfy you.


Thanks,
Bobbie7

If I agree to pay double, is it possible to get 2 pictures? The one
you spoke of w/Giuliani and the one from January 6, 2000?

Hi Punkchick!


Here are the results of my research for the NASDAQ Board and Times
Square picture.

This is the clear picture of Times Square I was mentioned previously.
The date was good but I wasn’t sure if the NASDAQ screen was visible.
