I was there in 1950 and will never go back to that hell hole.
Grew up thru HS Enlisted after HS in the late 70s and long gone. Family still there. Sister is liberal socialist and actually thinks NYers are superior to the hicks and rubes living West of the Hudson River. We have not spoken to each other except briefly at several funerals since 1998 or so
LOL. No problem, FRiend. Guess it's an entirely different perspective if one is born and raised in a big city.
But I will agree with posters that things went downhill in the late 60s. We had a renaissance with Giuliani, but that didn't last long. FWIW, I'm no longer there but have relatives in the outskirts.
I had to go there to get on a ship headed to Germany. What a dump.
