Then WHY were they called ‘The Trump Towers’, huh?

Dear Terry,

There is a building in NYC called Trump Tower.

There are other buildings with Trump Tower in the name, in NYC and others (some planned, never built or completed):

The World Trade Center Towers were never owned or managed by Trump. The World Trade Center Towers were owned by the Port Authority of New York.

All the time that I had connections with my adopted home town of Stamford, CT, which was in that time a ‘NYC bedroom town’, the towers were referred to, by all the NH&H railroad riders, as ‘The Trump Towers’.

Perhaps your connections in CT were all idiots?

Dear MD, Thanks for the information, and all those connections were gladly employed on Wall Street and Madison Avenue. Mind you, this was all in the era of the late ‘60’s, when men were men, women were discovering Cosmopolitan magazine, and queers were silent and in the closet.
