Re: Return of the taggers: New York is blighted with graffiti

I agree. Back then I can see a Gomer Pile type tourist walking down 42nd St going "golllleyyyy" while getting fleeced by 3 card monte players & "come-ons from the whores on Seventh Ave" as Paul Simon noted.(from "The Boxer")
As for the businesses' there, Its generally conceded that most of those adult "scumatoriums" were mafia controlled. When Guiliani took over, his reputation for being a crime fighter & and RICO act activist plus having a hard on for mafia types that gave Italians a bad name, that gave him more incentive to clean up that snake pit.
