@pettyofficer30 They were going to have a wank. They were all prostitutes and dogcatchers, and they were going to eat Jello pudding for dinner.

I worked on 23rd street from c.1969 to 1990. I guess that's the 6th avenue EL in the background.

@DJBell1986 I watch this video and I wonder what those people had to on that day. I wonder what they did for work, what meal they were going to have for dinner that evening. Youtube is awesome! We don't know who these people are, but videos like this allows us to remember their existence.

That young couple appeared to be made not at all melancholic by the wanton effects of that blustering sidewalk grate. They seemed rather gay, by cracky!
