I miss my free chicken leg at William's. When that closed, I thought to myself, 'If Morris Bros. goes, I'm leaving this earth.' Yet, here I am, without Morris Bros., living on 97th. Much, much love.
the private block on 70th to get to the blockbuster video, empty nitrous containers in riverside, the baseball card shop on 75th(?), the a&m grocery on 70th, d'agostinos before the fairway expansion, the tv school calhoun, drivers ed at st agnes, halloween candy from superman
Damn this is like my life in a nutshell.... i live a block away from the grimy ass candy store at :23 and every time i walk by it's like a reminder of what my life as a little kid used to be. So much changes since then, ESPECIALLY in the mid-high 80's
Best shit ever, this is why the Upper West Side is dope the kids that grew up here not these new highrise herbs. Yo Fowad was so dope and I remember nights where there would be like 80 heads at the monument no joke all sipping 40's from the deli on 88th and Amsterdam, on that tip shout out to my man Skinny holding down the juniors on the malt beverage tip. Also that Blimpie was my steez in 5th grade at ps.87 I got cookies from there everyday after pizza town.
as long as cats like this keep rappin' i'll listen to hip hop.. good thing that the world has so many tight unsigned hype type rappers on the creative tip
AMAZING. The Wiz! Crazy Eddie! FOWAD! Sal and Carmine's! Morris Brothers! Ah, my childhood...too bad the UWS has lost its soul....RIP, my neighborhood.

Abraham Joshua Herschel where I studied yiddish. Nobody beats the Wiz where I got my Nintendo and learned to rack tapes downstairs. Carmines for those big family occasions. Flor de mayo had the best beef and broccoli. Playing Street Fighter on 94th st. Rocksteady park, legend of the goat, where white kids were too scared to walk on Amsterdam. I learned to break from a doorman on duty at 1AM on school nights. Peace Nel-Swift. Latin Quarter, spanish dimes were out of my league. Fowad = ghetto.
From the Decepticons to '98 Bloods scare, to chilling with DNC and beefing with HFL. From blazing in riverside stretch to columbia uni, staying away from the grungy laguardia kids in the meadow. Coping looseys at 99th street to to big ass slices from Koronet Pizza. Delivering movies for Movie place on 105th. Chilling at Slease's crib. Dime-a-tabs at the monument adding to the piss smell, too lazy to walk to Broadway, someone spot me for a croissant at hot & crusty!
