Which is my point. Frame of reference. If you see the city as a “scary” place now and think 9th Ave seems edgy than you didn’t walk down 9th Ave prior to 1995. Uptick in crime? Sure, look at what we went through the past year. Is the world in general experiencing that same trend this past year? I’ve read a number of articles expressing that same phenomenon across the country in small to rural cities And towns. Crap, boring places I would slit my throat if I was sentenced to live. Frankly I hope all the people coming here to live out their “Friend's” or “Sex in the city” dream do stay away and never return.
Yeah, Hanson brother just not a “mmm bop” Hanson brother
Given your mention of 9th ave I will guess you are referring to my comment.
I used to hang out at the Triple Treat theater on 8th & 42 till all hours. Saw lots of famous porn girls there.
I used to pick up streetwalkers after 4 AM on 11th Ave back in the 80s and take them to the Liberty Inn, and sometimes the Evans or the Ivanhoe.
I'd pick them up on Park Ave too and take them to a crappy hotel on 34th near 3rd. Don't remember the name.
So yeah, I walked around plenty in shitty areas late at night prior to 1995.
I never used the word "scary". I did use the word "crap" implying "crappy".
I prefer the NYC from 93 to 2012. It's crappier here now.
When they ran the hookers off the street in Manhattan, it forced me start using brothels, agencies and AMPs.
