And you can look at it like...any major city is trying to imitate something else. Whether its in line with a corporate agenda or based from our basic human inadequacies. Architects lack of creativity and invention for functionality (like the grid plan) is a great example of that.
History tends to like repeating itself.
The minuscule attempt at creating something grand like Times Square is priceless. Very self reflective of current society as well. Which is why its so entertaining to see what ads people are being bombarded with at any given time. If only people would view them as lessons rather than representations of products to obtain.
