My Irish ancestors lived in Hell's Kitchen for nearly 100 years, I had hoped to go there this summer to see if the old tenements where they lived were still standing. Too bad Bloomberg is slacking on what Guliani had fixed.

I didn't hear Giuliani pass the buck on NYC crime to the rest of the country for their gun laws.

We should just legalize prostitution and let them operate in a designated area like they do in Nevada.

Yeah, let's just go ahead a degrade society for the sake of being too lazy and irresponsible to have decent standards.

Bloomberg squandered billions and now the subways are filled with homeless psychos...

Homeless Man Charged In Subway Attack

July 08, 2006

A homeless man has been charged with slashing another homeless man on a subway train.

Police say 41-year-old Randy Johns slashed a 46-year-old man onboard an uptown 2 train Friday afternoon.

Police say the two men got into an argument, then Johns slashed his victim across the right side of his face and then fled.

Police arrested Johns at the 14th Street and 6th Avenue subway station a little later.

The victim was treated and released from St. Vincent's.

Johns also faces charges of criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a controlled substance.

Meanwhile, the man charged with attacking a postal worker in a Manhattan subway station has been ordered to undergo a psychiatric examination.

Tareyton Williams, 33, was arrested a couple hours after the attack after he allegedly punched someone a few blocks away. He now faces attempted murder, robbery and weapons charges in connection with the attack.

Police say Williams grabbed two portable power saws from a work site Thursday in the Cathedral Parkway station and attacked Michael Steinberg. Steinberg says he thought Williams was trying to cut through him. Steinberg suffered punctures to his chest and lungs, but is expected to recover.

The attack comes just weeks after a Boston man was charged with stabbing four people over a 13-hour span in the subway and theater district. Kenny Alexis is charged with four counts of attempted murder. Three of the victims were tourists.

Nearly every PO shot on the job or civilian shot in a robbery or drive-by in NYC was shot with a gun purchased in states where certain gun shop owners sell in bulk to folks with no local creds knowing full well that these weapons are intended for criminal use.

"There was a great article in New York magazine on the NYCP's WOT, the feds aren't even funding 1/2 of it."

Maybe you should tread this.

As for the New York magazine, I read it every now and again(I have the current issue on my desk with Woody Allen/Scarlett Johansen on the cover). It's one of the biggest Bush-hating rags out there, wth a severe case of BDS. There is hardly anything political in that mag that makes doesn't attempt to attack President Bush in one way or another.
Its a RATS propaganda outlet.

Long-time fan of the Delta Grill. Used to go there weekly. But, try Mara's Homemade in the East Village of Oddfellow's over in -- gasp -- Hoboken. They're better.

I lived on 48th between 8th and Broadway during the Guliani years and it was a great place to live.

I spent nearly every Saturday afternoon my senior year in highschool on that block, on "Music Row."

Manny's, "Smash," "We Buy," Stuyvesant, the list of music stores goes on...

It's not being lazy, it's being realistic. They don't call it the worlds oldest profession for nothing. Not all people can take a private plane down to the Dominican Republic to enjoy the prostitutes down there.

I remember that case.
Sucker was a real psycho.
Funny thing is, one of the tourists he brutally stabbed(from Texas I believe) was a really nice young man.
He even forgave this guy for stabbing him.
I think he has a much bigger heart than me.
I'd be looking to get the vermin hanged.

Animals can be driven crazy by placing too many in too small a pen.
Homo sapiens is the only animal that voluntarily does this to himself.

I agree. The city I live in has it legalized and you don't see them streetwalking. Those who seek it can find it. Sex offenders can get their rocks off easily without going after decent womenfolk who don't want their attention.

This is the world's oldest profession and it's not going away.

All that stuff is actually on the east side of Broadway... I lived about 40 yards west of Broadway.

[Ronin]

Several shocked newcomers to the area - including some young families dishing out up to $3,000 a month in rent - said realtors had assured them that the neighborhood was "up and coming."

Must.......resist......

[PBRSTREETGANG]

To this day the only decent Cajun restaurant in the city of New york is on 48th and 9th. (The Delta Grill ...try the gator)

Never liked the Great Jones Cafe?

[tkathy]

Just proves what a powerhouse leader Guiliani would make against the WOT.

[Shooter 2.5]

The NRA had an article about the perp who shot the off duty cop. They tallied the crimes he committed before the shooting and he could have gone to jail for over a hundred years if the New York courts had done their job in the first place.
Bloomie is letting things go bad so he can pass his anti gun agenda.

[AD from SpringBay]

Interesting headline - I though 'Hooker Hell' might be about stds, the inherent dangers of the lifestyle, or the vacant shells of a life that such work creates. But nope, it's about whores finding a place to live.

Those days are a bit fuzzy for me, it's been a while. I just meant W. 48th St...

Those were also the days when Brew Burger had an all you can drink beer w/ a burger special.

It's been a while.
