Is that what was always refered to as H_____ kitchen (back in the 70's 80's)?
I would image to a new comer it could have seemed quite overwhelming.

Nah - Hell's Kitchen of the 80s and earlier was a super sketchy neighbourhood on the West Side of Manhattan, midtown-ish. Today Hell's Kitchen is full of $3 million 1 bedroom condos :rflmao:The idea of it needing Daredevil to keep the streets safe is laughable. In fact most of the NYC of lore is no more, except for The Bronx

I lived in Queens and knew just about all of that plus was very familiar with Brooklyn (old Brooklyn, not the Disney-fied Brooklyn of today) and Manhattan. But the Bronx for the most part was the undiscovered country. I mean I had been there as I had some really REALLY old relatives who lived in Co-Op City but that didn't count. I had no real experience with 'Da Bronx' until I had to take the D train or the #4 train on a daily basis.

Guys, get a room. You are taking this tread way off topic.


Not a bit. I have friends and family back there that I can visit if I need a dose of "season." Besides, we have seasons here, Rainy, Dry, Fire and Mudslide.



When attending SUNY Farmingdale, I was living in Brooklyn and drove my trusty Dodge Dart Wagon 45 miles each way. I made it to class on days that people that lived on campus didn't.



It doesn't take long to get use to 85 degrees and sunny. The Washington Post named Long Beach CA as the city with the most "Nice Days."

"Today The Washington Post gave a warm shout out to Long Beach by naming it the city with the most nice days per year in America.

With 210 nice days per year, Long Beach topped Southern California neighbors Los Angeles and San Diego with—and this is no surprise—Anchorage, Alaska, coming in dead last with only 20 nice days per year.

The Post used criteria assuming people prefer days with “moderately warm temperatures, at least partial sunshine, a light breeze, low humidity and no precipitation.”

I have to agree with their criteria.

Thanks Pete. I found myself cracking up by your comment and the Truck Jacking. LOL. All in good fun.

So you know why I chose to make that long trek from Queens. I can't believe I used to be smart! I was up there back in the mid 80s as well

Wait...King Majesty Records? Why does that name ring a bell?

They are still around. Been there for ever. Back in the 80's it was a one stop shop.

Now I remember: I was taken there by "the music/DJ guys" in school who also were my unofficial big brothers. Back then King Majesty was one of 3 big spots for music alongside VP Records on Jamaica Ave in Queens, and of course, Sam Ash on 34th Street
 
Sansui Fan from Rual Indiana. Sansui has been a favorite since the 70's when you couldn't open a magazine without seeing a full page ad of either Sansui or Pioneer, always in a battle for the top spot! Seems like yesterday when you could walk into a Service Merchandise and play any combo of the latest Tuner, Amp, Speaker, etc. in their test room. Those were the days, Back Home Again in Indiana!
 
Atomic007. Yep. The magazines were loaded with dream machines. I remember going into stereo stores in Lombard IL and drooling over the equipment. 2 of the stores that come to mind. HiFi Hut & Pacific Stereo were loaded with all the latest Hi Horsepower equipment. Life was good.
