So we have the then-brats of Northern Manhattan to thank for the start of subway graffiti? A lot of the tags I've seen in the earliest photos featured Northern Manhattan street numbers. Hell, up until a few years ago stations on the 1 line north of 116th were still getting bombed and vandalized, though nowhere near as much as the dark ages. There had been one or two incidents mentioned about 181st St. station getting randomly bombed and tagged, and 157th St. is probably, to this day the most decrepit and ugly station on the West Side IRT. Has anyone been up there recently? There are huge-ass chunks of wall tile missing everywhere around the station, and it looks dreary overall. 145h is not too far behind, with missing NAME PLAQUES. |
