Celebrating America's 250th Birthday in Times Square!!!

In the heart of New York City, the world's most iconic intersection, Times Square, is buzzing with excitement as the country celebrates its 250th birthday. This special episode of the Kevin McCullough Show brings together a star-studded lineup of guests, including Cristyne Nicholas, CEO of Nicholas and Lence Communications; and Lou Basenese, host of The Big Skinny, to discuss the significance of America's history and its people.

As the country marks this milestone anniversary, the conversation delves into the nation's founding principles, its military strength, and the importance of unity. The guests share their perspectives on what makes America unique, from its system of government to its people's resilience in the face of adversity. They also discuss the role of tourism in showcasing America's greatness and the impact of the World Cup on the city's economy.

As the city that never sleeps, New York's iconic Times Square is a melting pot of cultures, entertainment, and freedom. This vibrant hub is celebrating its 250th anniversary, and we're live on the ground to experience it firsthand.


In this special episode, we're joined by Tom Harris, the president of the Times Square Alliance, who shares his insights on what makes this iconic place tick. From hosting over 1,000 events a year to being a living laboratory for American freedoms, Tom reveals the secrets behind Times Square's enduring appeal. We also delve into the importance of celebrating diversity and the power of live theater, which brings people together like nowhere else.

As we explore the city that never sleeps, we discuss the impact of COVID-19 on the tourism industry and how Times Square has bounced back stronger than ever. Tom shares his thoughts on the importance of focusing on the positive and not letting one bad headline define the narrative. We also chat about the incredible array of restaurants, theaters, and experiences that make Times Square a must-visit destination.


The episode also touches on the Revolutionary Trail, a new augmented reality experience that brings history to life in New York City. This innovative project allows visitors to explore the city's role in the American Revolution and experience the sights and sounds of the past. Additionally, the conversation highlights the importance of prayer and patriotism, with TED KNUDSEN sharing a unique initiative to encourage Americans to come together and pray for their country on July 4th.
