People always seem to think that the "old" NY was empty and dangerous. While you had to keep your wits about you it was always filled to the brim with regular folks making an honest living. Maybe the old Meatpacking district looked menacing to outsiders who wandered in by accident, but I'm sure if you were there every day on the clock you were recognized and left alone by even the rough characters. If you belong you belong no matter the neighborhood. Now it's whitewashed.3rd Rate Chumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15296690849648567899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-55899546622946446742014-09-18T11:02:59.709-04:002014-09-18T11:02:59.709-04:00Thanks again for these - with how completely it...Thanks again for these - with how completely it's been washed away, sometimes you need to see the actual photos from the Meatpacking District to convince yourself some of the best memories of your childhood weren't all made up in your head. <br /><br />If there's anything more soul crushing than having a slicked back haired Euro and his vapid eye candy drunkenly stop you to ask 'where is MePa', then I don't ever want to experience what it is.<br />JAZnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-298862083929164102014-09-17T16:18:51.136-04:002014-09-17T16:18:51.136-04:00where is the new meat market? where is the new fis...where is the new meat market? where is the new fish market? bronx? brooklyn? queens? good photos.laura r.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-33972034244250492852014-09-17T12:10:14.263-04:002014-09-17T12:10:14.263-04:00Beautiful.

In a culture that nowadays all too often focuses on and celebrates the corporate life, people like these are often forgotten, and what a shame. They are vibrant, hardworking, and colorful - even in black and white.
