You could walk into a porn theater in the middle of Times Square and get your dick sucked though a window for $20.

I thought this was going to be about crime.

I remember when you could get killed for simply looking at someone the wrong way. The city got safe just in time for me. But now it is getting worse.

It's time for the guardian angels to make a big comeback and to clean up the streets.

You aren't even really reading my posts; you're just staring at your e-mail client and fondly reminiscing about that hobo you stabbed to death. :P

It was a war zone. NYC has come a long way from those days.
It did give rise to actual street Rap, and what would become Hip-Hop.
~Those were the days.

It is, but not 1970's-1980's shithole.

To think it was Gulliani who helped clean the streets. Definitely lived long enough to become the villain.

Ya, look out for places in Schenectady, Albany, and Troy.
They are actually less comfortable than many places in The Five Boroughs.

There's obviously still crime, but the 70s and 80s are documented as being historically bad. Like, South Chicago all around bad.

Ed Koch is credited more with turning things around initially
