NEW YORK CITY–On a surprisingly warm, cloudy winter morning, four giant numbers were set down in Times Square. A crowd gathered to watch the future illuminate.
The 7-foot “2025” numerals were presented in Time Square on Dec. 18, ushering in excitement for the new year.
The monolithic numbers will be standing in Times Square for photos between 46th and 47th street until 7 a.m. on Dec. 23.
The numerals will be placed on top of One Times Square as a piece of the massive 2025 sign for the New Year’s live broadcast, where it will be lit when the ball drops.
President of the Times Square Alliance Tom Harris spoke at the unveiling. “You know that New Year’s is full, full steam ahead when the numerals arrive,” he said. “Hundreds of thousands of people come to Times Square, and over the next few days, they’re going to be able to have pictures taken with the numerals.”…
