What street? The UWS used to be crazy. One year there were 5 murders on 93rd btwn Bway & Amsterdam
 
I'm standing with my back to West 101 Street, west side of the street, looking toward 100 Street.
 
I moved into the area in '94 and it was dicey then.
so the Metro theater was behind those dumpsters ?
Now theres a 70+ story condo there
 
I moved out of the neighborhood around 88 -89. Yeah I think the Metro was about there. I remember when it was a porn theater. Never a dull moment in that neighborhood. I miss the 2475 Recording film, too.
