NYC Subway Photos Circa 1980s
« on: July 18, 2017, 09:13:34 PM »
Sorry it's Buzzfeed, but I thought these were really interesting photos of the state of the NYC subway in the 1980s. I remember always reading about the Guardian Angel "vigilantes" in a thing we had back then called a newspaper. :)

What I always found interesting was that the lady that was the radio voice in that movie, later played "The Chief" in Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego.

Also I will always give Giuliani credit for cleaning up New York.  Not that that necessarily transfers to the national stage...(it may.  I think he would be slightly better then Jeff Sessions.)

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

That reminds me of WeeGees'  collection of New York City photos he published in his collection, "The Naked City."

Wow. Vintage pictures of NYPD with low-hang holsters and Smith & Wesson revolvers...
