1988 was 37 years ago?!?!!? I was expecting the date to be like 1967 or something

That first poster is FANTASTIC. And while I saw dozens of expensive SUVs moving NYU kids and their golf clubs into their new apartments as I waited for a friend this morning, I am happy to know that there's still some memory of the neighborhood's revolutionary past.
