I'm i the only one who thinks graffiti on trains should be legal, it's so beautiful....one thing I wish we would have preserved, that represented NY as much as the Statue of Liberty in my eyes....remember being a kid back home and whenever I thought of America first thing that came to mind was graffiti everywhere

Wouldn't live in/10. Where are the pictures of stereotypically nice neighborhoods?
Compare that to pictures of Aspen in the 80s and it's pretty clear which is the vastly superior location.

I love looking at old photography. Such a different time.
I agree somewhat with the graffiti. Though I think there should be various designated areas set up where someone can rock for a set amount of time then they rotate it out.

Being born in Brooklyn in 1987; it feels good looking at these photos and just being able to see the era/time of when my mother & father lived in NYC, the lifestyle and flow of life during the 80's.
And I'm a product of all that right there.

been posted before, people said they were fake, ala Dapper Dan.
also, weren't those gangs more of a 70s thing?
