So depressing! I live in a moderately large single family, detached, home in California. I can’t imagine living in the NYC buildings. The only housing that looked worse were the drab, grey concrete high-rise buildings in Moscow, Russia.
These projects look nice compared to San Francisco projects. We still got the old military barracks from the 40's. They tore down all the high rise projects. These NY projects have grass and playgrounds. Look up Sunnydale, Potrero Hill where OJ Simpsons from and Hunters Point.
My father use to live in San Francisco the projects OJ grew up in are dangerous I walked over there plus play basketball at the center on top of the hill they show me loved when they ask me where I was from which is NYC
Anyone remember the A&P @ 88th? The lumpy wooden floors? I worked at Samuels Drug Store. I loved to watch the doughnut machine in the window at Playland. Remember the "Token War?" votus.us
Holy Cow Harvey, I lived with my parents and 2 sisters at 342 Beach 56th. St. In the NYCHA projects from 1951 to 1957. Quite a coincidence I lived on the same street you did.
***** You've stated before that you used to get picked on/your ass whoooooooooooped by Blacks in an all Black neighborhood. You say Blacks live in poor and dirty places. You call it the ghetto. Thing is, you lived in the same exact neighborhood as the ones that had you shittin' cinder blocks. You were dirty and nasty too at one time then so don't get too big headed. Humble your ass, Boy. Speaking of "ass"....who's the broad with the ass in the green dress? That ass is perfect for back shots. You ain't smashin' that, are you? She need that Motumbo Jumbo. Your limp shrimp too skimp. Lack of melanin, Bruh. You're cursed. Straight fucked. Raw. No condom. I'd have her squirtin' on the curtain and for certain her kitty would be hurtin'!!!! LMFAOOOO! Trust me, she fantasizes about us "Brothas", ya heard?
