I know some of you remember when that area where Barclays Center is on right now was pretty much just a yard where the MTA would store equipment, and the Atlantic Ave Station was just a metal shack.

Times Square in the 80s was no joke

Here's a pretty blog. It's not the 80's NYC, it's the 90's but still good pics. From the 90s to present day things have changed a lot.

I'm blessed to have been born here in 93, but I wish I was born alot earlier to experience this. I know times were much harder and crime was rampant, but it would just be cool to see.

Yo I still gotta go back in the thread but i cant believe we let this dirty ***** from the heights talk down on queens women and queens borough in general.

Shoulda told him to take trumps **** out of his mouth, and brush his knees off before speaking about queens.

10,000 Light Bulbs: The Story of the Chrysler Building

The Chrysler building has stood in midtown New York at the corner of 42nd and Lexington for the past 88 years. With its stainless-steel art deco flare, it is globally one of the most iconic buildings and once upon a time stood above the rest as the tallest in the world. This is its story.

owlcation.com

"Deaths were common place, because skyscraper workers of the 1920s didn’t use safety harnesses and were often scaling steel frames like trees in a park.

“In those days, it was considered the norm for a building to have one death for every floor above the fifteenth floor," notes author, Vincent Curcio.(7)

The Chrysler Building had 3000 workers. With 77 floors it could have resulted in 62 fatalities.

But it had none."

Crazy

1987 Train Ride to Coney Island



"Jamel Shabazz Street Photographer" Trailer
2013 ‧ Documentary
Most prolific 80's/90’s NY Hip Hop photographer.
Playing on Showtime but sure it's streaming places too.



Boston North End Accent 1985. I watch all 30min of this. Just some interesting content. Like jumping in a time machine. Feels like an old school vlog of everyday life in 1985 Boston.

"Rubble Kings" Documentary 2015
This used to be on Netflix when it came out but was removed a couple years ago. This doc goes deep into the 1960's-70's birth of the NY street gangs. The Warriors movie made a lot more sense to me after seeing this doc.

Rubble Kings was legit and gave great insight to that period in New York.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I wish I was of able mind/body during the 80s to experience it.
It's such a mythical time period for me.

The 90s were cool and all but I feel like I missed out on something not being a teenager/adult during the 80s.
