I gather that the 80s was a whole different scene in the NYC subway. Plenty of pics out there!

Only time I was there was in '92 and it was nice enough.

Yeah, I'm not old enough to have experienced the city in the 70s and 80s. I've heard stories but it's hard to say how credible some of them are, but I believe the city is a lot nicer than it was back then.

Like, Bryant Park is a nice patch of green in Manhattan. They do yoga classes there. There's a holiday market. People used to call it needle park because it had some a drug user problem.

Places change.

yeah, I'm also not quite old enough for that, but the modern conservative narrative would have you believe that most cities are actual warzones right now that are worse than the 80s. i imagine it was similar then. it's hard to trust what people try to tell you about it anymore.
