What did New York City used to be like?
- Thread starter the next guy
- Start date
The Bronx Zoo is nice
Riverdale is nice too, although there's nothing to "visit" there though.
Pelham Bay Park, Van courtlant Park, etc
Broadway from where the 1 train ends to the Bronx/Yonkers Border
The mall area around Co op City has that middle america feel
But other than that The Bronx
I lived in Midtown For 2 Years and Downtown Brooklyn for 2 "4th and Atlantic'
That area of Brooklyn is by far my favorite Neighborhood in NYC
I had Park Slope, Forte Green, Prospect Park, Clinton Hill all 10 mins walking distance from where I lived

There are still parts of the Bronx that look like 3rd world Country
I lived in NYC for 4 Years.. and The Bronx is just a dusty ass concrete jungle
Although it does have its urban charm, there no real reason to visit unless you're trying to catch a yankee game
The Roads in the Bronx have to be worst constructed pieces of shyt in america
Morris Ave wuddup!!!

300 in a basement!
Not a house basement, it was a basement to a local store, it was a lot larger, I used to help clear out the inventory so we could get people down there. But it's still a tight fit. You couldn't even move really.

You're right, though, that's why they didn't leave posters up, you usually got to those joints by knowing someone or being a friend of a friend, but you know how that works. People always gotta sneak in a crew, especially my Puerto Rican and Dominican peeps.
Still Summer of 88

But seriously it must have dope in the 90s, especially the mid 90s

Beat Street in Fulton Mall
Other than the WTC, Crime rate drop and gentrification, it wasn't too different than today from what I noticed.
Nothing like running into Pete Rock, 6th July, or Busta Rhymes while shopping for records.
Who the fukk was buying washer machines upstairs?
Canada Goose
Pooping on your head :umad:
at the washer machine comment, its funny as cars are banned on Futon Street in the mall area and you can't bring a washer machine on the bus 
I loved the fact that Beat Street was in the Basement, made the vibe of that store much doper, espically when all the Hip Hop posters in the staircase, that store was Hip Hop at its finest
But that mall across the street was
in its final yearsI'm glad that part of Fulton Mall got thrown in the bushes
Altantic Mall >>>> that old POS mall.
I miss fat beats breh
Same, I also still have a blue metrocard breh
