People were smartening up to drugs by the time 90 came around. The early to mid 80s was hell outside of the home
the late 80s/early 90s
My first memory of that time was driving up to visit my aunt in the Bronx from Pittsburgh in 1989. Me and my family drove up in a mazda minivan. As soon as we get there, a whole gang of crackheads just swarm our van looking inside. Keep in mind, I'm 5 years olf at the time and didn't know what the fukk was going on.
Also, my aunts uncles and cousins on my moms side lived in Newark NJ in the 90s. shyt was bad.
I remember visiting them like 1993-1994. Gunshots during the day time. Liquor store next to gun store next to graveyard. Me and my cousins would be sitting on the porch of their house and three houses away was a crack house. I remember being mad little seeing mad people coming in and out of that house in 5 minute intervals and not knowing what the fukk was going on. It was only when I got older that I realized what was happening.
