I miss the old New York

I miss it when there were alleyways with stray animals,cab drivers being able to drive over 30,graffiti covered subway cars,WTC,guys walking with huge stereos on there shoulder. I really remember going to get this movie with my mom at a video rental store on 3rd ave and I felt so attached to the whole early 90s New York. Then I just saw this movie and I was walking thinking about how much different it was back then to what it is now.

i just miss the 90's in general. hopefully the 2010s will be good. won't be as good as the 90s, but it should be a few steps up.

New York was a dump in the 90s. It looks so much better now. And it's not filled with so many homeless people.

I think the homeless people were a nice touch to the city... made it feel real... that the economy was bad but you could always be worse off, look at that guy under the bridge.

Would you light my candle?

I unfortunately never visted New York City when the twin towers were still up. Hopefully, I will, when they finall finish the WTC memorial.
