(Still is, actually; I'm one of the few holdouts who refuses to call it the East Village.) "Lower East Side" used to mean the part of Manhattan bordered by 14th street to the north, Third Avenue (Bowery) to the west, the East River to the East, and I don't know, Fulton Street to the south. But then again, Tribeca used to be called the Lower West Side—SoHo was already a thing—so I don't know.<br /><br />I recall in early 1981 a couple of friends and I got together to make sundaes and huff whippets. We were at Key Foods on 3rd and A at 3 AM for some reason didn't feel any danger. Of course, one of us lived on 3rd between A and B, so it wasn't far to get home. Seriously, I've very rarely felt in danger in this neighborhood, and I'm glad of it; I don't even question it.Scuba Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326884503725331349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-53284809153996042462017-06-14T21:53:30.453-04:002017-06-14T21:53:30.453-04:00This is a fun one!

...This is a fun one! Miss Moossy has a great face. <br /><br />I used to walk alone thru the EV in 1990 late at nite on the way home from the Nuyorican Poets Cafe; I was always terrified but determined to do it, every time. I'd get to East 3rd Street and First Avenue and take a few relieved breaths because the Hells Angels always made that block safe...then I'd get to Second Avenue and steel myself again for the rest of the walk home. (I lived in Chelsea then -- it had begun to gentrify but still had a lot of character.) marjoriehttp://www.marjorieingall.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-22826137488878636892017-06-14T13:36:11.168-04:002017-06-14T13:36:11.168-04:00I love her!
