I also noticed back then there was no trees. Reminds me of current Philly and Baltimore hoods but with bigger buildings

The good ol days

I can’t find any old videos on south Jamaica queens. With all those new houses I see there I imagine it had crazy lots also

 

[Threnody]

I remember when all that looked 'normal' to me which is why the city now looks so fake

Shyt looked dingy and run down, but those type of spots always have the most culture, good times, and stories that last for generations and beyond.

All those empty lots are now worth millions. Lots alot of black people back then could've got one for a few thousand if that much, probably less

But how much taxes would they have been paying up until the point they could sell it for a nice gain?

Harlem was gritty, East New York was probably the original "IRAQ", Queens had the Kingpins... but the Bronx in the 1980s was a legit a 7th world country.. my Mom had a small ass apartment in Hunts Point, landlord use to come around every other week tryna burn the building down
