Some more old 60's color slides and photos. Unable to credit as I'm unsure where they originally came from.

But that has nothing to do with legality or decriminalization, unless you think that more idiots will take PCP, heroin or crack if it is decriminalized. I don't think that will happen. And if someone...

Perhaps it's the libertarian side of me, but as long as they're minding their own business, what an adult puts in their own body is none of the government's d#%n business. Those who think it is are...

Aside from photos and the occasional rare video, little brings you back to what things were like in the city than old radio. Some was good, some very good. And some was bad, even then.

WABC was...

At the top of this thread is a link to a newscast from that time.

Some stories from that night. Annie Sprinkle gives a little more information than some might need :eek:

I don't smoke anymore, but I'd like to light up a giant stogie, inhale deep and blow it right in King Bloomberg's face. I wish the city would ban fascist, nanny-state politicians instead.

What is Italy's age of consent? Ruby the Heartbreaker looks 25 in the photo but she was only 17. Berlusconi must think he's Hugh Hefner.....either she's that good or he's that stupid. Probably the...

What used to happen when the horses passed away? They just layed in the street until someone (the owner, the city?) loaded it up and carted it away on a horse drawn cart....

Sorry, I didn't mean to disrespect someone who killed 6 people by calling them a loon. So sorry about that :rolleyes:

A recent photo (from ChristiNYCCa/flickr)...

To be fair, such "eliminationist rhetoric" and imagery has been used by all sides for years, such as a target map from the 1994 DLC website, and this Joe Mancin ad. Even Obama recently said"they...

^A lot of the turn of the century Detroit Photo Co. shots on the Library of Congress site are great. They're huge TIF files and take a while to download, but they're worth the wait and space. I'll...

^Great song. Spector is equally loved and reviled, especially by Beatles fans. Personally I like the Spector version of "Long and Winding Road", but many say it's overproduced. The whole stripped...

What do you get when a bunch of San Francisco bohemian musicians gather together in a studio? The Morning Benders' "Excuses". Different, but it works. I like their stuff.

Found this image at Shorpy.com of the Grand Central terminal concourse from 1910. From the days when form and function were equal and ideal.
