About Me:
 
From 1919 to the early 1960s the Third Avenue El ran above the Bowery, further darkening its streets, populated largely by scum. "It is filled with employment agencies", cheap clothing and knickknack stores, cheap moving-picture shows, cheap lodging-houses, cheap eating-houses, cheap saloons", writers in The Century Magazine found it in 1919. "Here, too, by the thousands come sailors on shore leave,—notice the 'studios' of the tattoo artists,—and here most in evidence are the 'down and outs'".Prohibition eliminated The Bowery's numerous saloons: One Mile House, the "stately old tavern... replaced by a cheap saloon" at the southeast corner of Rivington Street, named for the battered milestone across the way,where the politicians of the East Side had made informal arrangements for the city's governance, was renovated for retail space in 1921, "obliterating all vestiges of its former appearance", The New York Times reported with satisfaction, but the assertion that "The Bowery has turned over a new leaf" was premature:Home of many music halls in the 19th century, the Bowery later became notable for its economic depression. Though pressure for a new name pre-World War I came to naught, in the 1920s and 1930s, it was regarded as an impoverished area. The "Dead End Kids" (aka the "The Bowery Boys") of film were from the Bowery. In the 1940s through the 1970s, the Bowery was New York City's "Skid Row," notable for "Bowery Bums" (disafiliated alcoholics and homeless persons)

TheBoweryScum I've been feeling rather ZEN of late, and have come to the realization that I LOVE everyone...well apart from those who I don't love, or even like. To those people I sincerely apologize...sort of :)
