ReplyDeleteTimes have unbelievablychanged. That was standard operating procedure when I lived on D..Now it's newsworthy (and you actually have a resident surprised and scared....go figure)
ReplyDeleteI think we should all call on CB3 to close more bars and restaurants and replace them with second hand china stores. Quiet, dark streets are good for the neighborhood.

I am relieved this isn't business as usual like it used to be around here. I don't want a return to the good old days of violence. If you've ever been mugged and just roughed up by some thugs looking for amusement, you probably agree with me.
ReplyDeleteback in the early 80's there was Voodie and his crew One of them would steal the kicks off the guys from jersey and you would hear his laugh up and down the block
ReplyDeleteNow this is the East Village I remember!
