It was gully there back in the day. Check the murders back in the day. New York as a whole was a war zone outside of the glamorous, few blocks of Manhattan.

shyt was bad in the 70's/early 80's.

My mom grew up in Bushwick in the late 70's when arson was really bad and used to count the buildings on fire on her way home from the train.
