The world was a different place before 9/11

Everybody was outside even at night

How different is new york post 9/11 from back when you were coming up?

There are plenty of neighborhoods where like 20% of people drive and there's still no parking

That would make sense on this tiny half of a block

Completely different. Cops lit up the streets like a firecracker post 9/11. Lotta military presence as well.

2000 was really an extension of the late 90s imo. The real 00s didn't start until 02-03

It feels a little bit like that now this pat summer at least. Been getting rushes of memories and vibes from the mid-late 90s. Making me feel like i'm back in that time.

Speaking of the year 2000. I visibly still remember this story

• May 24, 2000 – Five employees of a Flushing, Queens, Wendy's restaurant are killed and two are seriously wounded during a robbery that netted the killers $2,400.

March 8, 1999 – Amy Watkins, a 26-year-old social worker from Kansas who worked with battered women in the Bronx, is stabbed to death in a botched robbery near her home in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. Her two assailants are sentenced to 25 years to life in prison



^^^ must have been the first hipster in the hood

• March 7, 1990 – 12-year-old Haitian immigrant David Opont is mugged and set on fire by a 14-year-old assailant, who remained anonymous because he was tried as a minor. The attack created an outpouring of support throughout the city for Opont who eventually recovered from his burns.[44]

^^ they burned that Haitian kid because he didn’t want to do crack with them
