It fuckin pains me to see these images of Times Sq/42nd of the 1970s. I was born in 1979 so by the time i was old enough to get out to the City on my own in the late 1990s this was already "cleaned up." I am obsessed with things 1970s... especially New York City. I live in the tri-state area so I make it to the city, myself, at least 2x a year. I love the City dearly but there was just something special and unique about the grit and grime of this period that can't be duplicated or overshadowed.

NYC was a lot cooler back then. Now it's just a place for rich bastards and it sucks! You can't even walk the streets unless you are a millionaire let alone live there.

New York used to the cultural mecca of the world. Now it's fuckin Yuppieville and I despise it.
I hate this gentrified consumerist pop culture. They've destroyed what once was the most diverse city in the world.
