For real, all that knowledge for the taking and they pass it up for the smoke shop or liquor store. People wonder why business's don't want to operate in NYC. You are creating your own food desert that they always complain about after they run target out because they have been operating at a loss for a decade.

I remember some Astoria Park teen age mafiosos setting a trap for the Son of Sam in the parking lot. They sat in the Astoria Park's ''lovers lane'' with their girl sexily dressed girl friends.There was a substantial reward and these young gangsters were smart operators. Burkowitz was real wise to never chose Astoria Park as a place to shoot couples. The young Astoria Park gangsters would have left him looking like Swiss cheese.

It’s weird to hear people talk about New York in the 70’s as some sort of “Golden Age.” I suppose it was for the arts, but that was largely because misery and cheap rent from run down buildings breeds artists of all sorts

What art? 70s art is as degenerate as it gets

[@matthewgabbard6415]

[@AjitAdonisManilal]

You would freeze in winter, you couldn't turn up the heat because of how much they charged, a lot of people got sick because the cold seeped into their lungs, roaches crawling around, if your window broke the cold wind would blow into the room if you couldn't have the window replaced. In the summer the heat was so bad, the sidewalks would crack, places where the road would melt and if you stepped there you'd leave your shoeprint, most people couldn't afford air conditioners so they opened a window and had a small fan, that was the best you could do. At night you had to choose risking a break in from your open window or the heat. When it rained water came up out the clogged sewers and the rats came up with them, you got the damp eating the walls, mushrooms growing out of walls, mildew and mold. 70s in NY was no "golden age"

I was already out 9f the house and I resided between lower manhattan and Brooklyn. The night of the blackout, I happened to be staying in Lower Mahhattan. It was particularly frightening because of all the very tall and crowded office buildings near City Hall. My boyfriend held me very close to him because we could hear a couple of guys following us. My girlfriend was raped several.blocks over that same night. I happened to be wearing black pants and a black top. Thank God I wasnt alone that night. That blackout was terrifying. It was literally pitch black outside. My boyfriend pulled me into a deep doorway, and those guys somehow missed us and kept walking down the street. I remember this like it was yesterday.
