I was living in the City in 1988 during the 75th birthday celebration. I was totally there when Phillippe Petit walked across the terminal on a tightrope. There were also colored lights and dancers on the catwalks behind the large windows. It was a really fun event!
Grand Central Terminal, not station. For the centennial logo they dropped it from the logo so it now just says "Grand Central", which will only make this error more common. Honestly I think they should just change the name to what 99% of people call it.
