It would have been the mid 80’s. West side. Heading toward the Hudson.
I worked at Rock Center and on Madison Ave during those years, in the advertising agency world, so I can’t say for sure it was me. Most of my clients - BMW, Ingersoll-Rand, P&G, BFGoodrich etc - were all over the world, so I was traveling 250-75 days a year in North America, Canada, Europe and Asia.
Like I said, there were a few of us that had those brick phones, which had to go back in the massive charger, every 30mins. The batteries socked back then.
