Walking off with seats prior to renovations 1973. Such an action in 2008 would have been met with an arrest.
Knicks at the Garden 1971....pure magic. In 2008, this franchise is unwatchable.(pic by Jeffrey Gutterman)

Excellent photos. Who could ever forget the '77 World Series and Reggie Jackson's 3 home runs in game 6.

1970. Italy/West Germany.
Written and directed by Dario Argento
1970. Italy/West Germany. 97 min. Written and directed by Dario Argento.
With Tony Musante, Eva Renzi. Argento's directorial debut is a masterpiece
of suspense, as famous for its voluptuous and symbolic use of color
(unforgettable shades of red and yellow) and music (a brilliant score by
Ennio Morricone) as it is for its blend of surreal violence, mystery, and
eroticism. Set in a modernist Rome drawn entirely from Argento's uncanny
imagination, and evoking a sense of urban alienation through shadow and
reflections, the film centers on an American writer who witnesses a brutal
assault and must uncover the identity of the assailant to prove his own
innocence. Preserved by Cineteca Nazionale, Rome. In Italian; English subtitles.

Lots more sky in Times Square back then.
Lots more porn shops also
Wow the city looked so scruffy then.
It was -- rough around the edges and not nearly so corporately clean.
Total freedom.
The city had a different, exciting kind of charm back then...well into the 80's. That said, beneath the veneer, it was also a bit sleazy. I remember wandering into some of those Broadway dives with friends in the mid-late 80's back when we were curious and newly legal. There were some characters in there.Originally Posted by lofter1
Hot mop to booth #6..........
Perish the thought!
^Well, not that there's anything wrong with that
Every now and then I'll come across some pics that I just love. These are from Tony Redhead/Flickr, though I adjusted the contrast & exposure to minimize haze. These are all from 1979.
