Nah, there used to be a great little store there that sold not-bad clothes for $10 a pop, I was able to get a wardrobe without selling arterial fluid. That I miss.
Anonymous says "That intersection was nothing but whores and dope for decades. Now it's all flippy floppy NYU boys & girls." One of my memories was when Taxi Driver was being filmed all the pimps got dressed up and tried to get parts in the picture. I lived there from the 1950's to the 1980's and raised a child there. It was also a vital neighborhood full of regular folks that cared about where they lived, went to work, and worked for a better, clearner, safer neighborhood. Unfortunately success brought the ability of landlords to charge thousands of dollars in rent and those ugly buildings that now march up our streets, alongside the dormatories that colleges are now building all over the place. Hoist by our own petard There goes the neighborhood.

@ blue glass
The building still stands on 13th St, I believe it was the 2nd or 3rd stoop east of Hudson's, right ?
Hudson's... there's a place I really miss.
I remember going up to one of the massage parlor (on a lark) and the girls coming over to invite me in...:)...(Didnt partake)
Snooki is rumored to open a bar named Tanning Zone.
