dontcookbilly: heyveronica: firthofforth: joshsternberg: Remember when NYC was a shithole? Most of us can’t because we’re not from here. But these pictures are a good look into some of the grossness that was The Big Apple. Check Steven Siegel’s photos out on Gothamist. EDIT: Now with the correct link. Thanks, Kate! Wow. Well…Bushwick has improved. Kind of. yeah, Bushwick was one of the worst areas in the city guys.  The riots during the 1977 blackout? Right here. I still kind of want to live in New York in the 70s/80s. New York is undeniably changing for the better, but it’s not really changing for the cooler.
