Ah yes, the ‘80s were a time of adolescence for big cities. New York especially. Fucking graffiti EVERYWHERE. It’s SO much better now, it’s ridiculous. Public transport is also quite a lot cleaner in general. From the late ‘90s until around 2010 I rode subways all the time for work during various times of day, and it was really not bad at all.
I remember on our bus ride to school we passed an old store that had, spray painted on the side, "Forgive them, Lord, for they know not what they do."
Months went by and I'd ponder that a bit when we passed it, until someone updated the old quote.
"Forgive them, Lord, for they know not what they doo-doo."
