Erie At Rockefeller Center

Yes, the ERIE had a storefront ticket office on Rockefeller Plaza.

Anyone remember which one? I saw it there as a teen ager, but didn't have any reason to go inside.

The address was 11 Rockefeller Plaza. Was the Erie ticket office on the plaza backside of the Maison Francaise, which fronts on Fifth Avenue? The storefronts on the plaza side are high end apparel shopping now. It was also the address of the Virginia State Travel Service in 1971, during the early days of its "Virginia is for Lovers" campaign.

Here's a crime story tidbit from the NY Times, July 30, 1949. Can't quote more than this:

Since June 20, when the ticket office of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at 15 Rockefeller Plaza. was held up, [two detectives] had been on the lookout for a man who had robbed railroad ticket offices.

The two detectives were standing outside the Erie office [at 11 Rockefeller Plaza] when they saw Lewin approach. They said they saw him pull a loaded pistol out of his pocket and pounced on him. The detectives quoted their prisoner as saying, "You got me."

A discharged vet, he "carried a German automatic pistol and a little memorandum book allegedly listing twelve previous and seven prospective hold-ups."

It's not always emails that gets them.
