I only hope and pray that when I die I will be able to revisit, recapture and relive all of what NYC was in the 1970s . . every little bit of it.

My favorite is the middle pic, obviously taken in the mid to late Eighties. The look of anxiety and fear on the couples faces says it all. They look as if they're about to be executed. Too bad we can't make all the bankers and brokers of today feel the same kind of dread.
