lol like I said it was gritty back in the days..lot of things have changed for the better.. hell you would think you visited a whole different world if you seen the differenceLike 78-80. We would spend summers in New Jersey. My brother and sister and cousins were older and used to go over to the city. Never would take me. This particular time, my cousin was like nothing gonna happen to my little cuz, I got him. That shit scarred me for life. People were wild and I remember everything was so dirty and graffiti everywhere. Hallway in building we went smelled like piss too. Not knocking your town, that was just wild to me as a little kid
