You should stand up on a table and tell them that they are all soft.

Sad to say, but the girl India (Gladys Rodriguez) died due to complications with AIDs in 1985.

80s in NYC is no joke, dudes get shot on a nightly basis. its nothing to be glorified and thank god we've moved on.

whoever said those trains are beautiful clearly never been in those trains situation. every cart smelled like piss and with nasty dirty seats.

graffiti is great if done right like the SEEN piece, but the stuff with name tag scribbles and scratched windows are simply vandalism. it was not a fun era.

Mount Vernon>>>>> The Boroughs



Joking. But I definitely don't miss growing up in NYC (Bronx/Baychester section). I was to young to remember the 80s like that (born in 85) but the 90s era in NY really shaped what NYC has become today. New styles mixed with a new way of living was moving way to fast and people started to lose their culture and upbringing, that it allowed for gentrification when plenty of native New Yorkers were complacent in their monotonous backward way of living. People saying NYC has become soft clearly are too young, not progressing in life, or just simply trolling.

I don't mind NYC today but the nostalgic photos in this thread make me wonder "what if"..?

Diego, present day NY is soft in general.

For the most part, yes.

Certain pockets of The Bronx & Harlem are still not to be ****** with, though.

 

[urbetterthenme]

Why would anyone want to go back to that horror of crime? That mess wasn't cool at all. IDC if you think NY fell off. That was a scary time in NY.

I find people like Diego are the funniest of the bunch.

I don't know if you realize you're spending your Saturday evening in a lounge, judging other guys toughness.

 

[cs02132]

How many thousandaire/millionaires you guys think made it during these times?

Man..back then..no cameras, phones, security, all that.. There has to be thousands of people that made it..

East ny use to be full of Italians and Jewish people way back in the day. Black people, Puerto Ricans and Dominicans took over parts of east ny now. Ninja hood, you should come visit. like every time I go up to Washington heights, I would always say "this is like a nicer, cleaner east ny lol" if that makes sense to you
