I agree.
It was turned Bad at some point in the 70s I think.
I know when I was driving a cab in the early 90s, the whole west side was littered with prostitutes right out in the open at night, cars picking them up left and right. Police not stopping anyone. Drug deals everywhere.
So you were here when it was still very good, then it got bad and then rudy made it good again.
Now it got bad again.
Ya know, it’s ironic. People from the red states Hate when NYers move to their towns.
But I have known HUNDREDS of liberal small town guys and gals that left for the bright lights of the Big Apple.
Ironic
I worked with a bunch of big libs from out of state when I worked in NYC.
They were from North Carolina, Arkansas, Michigan, Minnesota...etc., and they were Big Government liberals.
Nowadays, when I visit my son in Brooklyn, the neighborhoods there are filled with liberal out of state, hipsters.
And one person who no longer lives there is my uncle, who voted for Goldwater and Reagan.
I was there in December of ‘81.
My boyfriend’s buddy was driving the car and the boyfriend was riding shotgun.
I was in the backseat with my Wonder Dobe, Tito.
A hooker leaned in the window at a stop light and said “I can show you a good time” and my boyfriend started to say “My girlfriend is right...” but she interrupted him and said “I was talking to the dog”.
I came up over the back of the seat and went for her throat so fast, the guy stalled out the car as he and my boyfriend grabbed me and kept me from going out the window.
Fecking weirdos in that town and the dog was my baby.
:D
