Did you ever hear about “the trucks” ?
The trucks were found on tge West Side below 14th street where the actual meat markets were found. For some reason the meat packing industry was home to many gays and some were known to use the meat delivery trailers as a place to meet up with teens who were gay or who were unsure of their preferences or who could not successfully make a connection with a girl. Cops were notoriouly brutal to the adult men who took advantage of these teens. A scene in Sinatra’s movie The Detective is quite accurate in showing this brutality.
