Huh, what a strange coincidence that someone already made a similar thread and chose the same year today. I still think our threads are different enough to warrant the existence of my thread

I'd go to the village and have indiscriminate sex because HIV doesn't exist and all the other stis are cured with penicillin.
Ha but no I'd walk down from my apartment and just like see pre-crack NYC, it'd be pretty cool from what all my family tells me.

Get the fuck out of there. I love this town but in 1972 shit was fucking out of control. My dad got his car stolen in broad daylight in the middle of Manhattan.
do drugs and rob things with my dad
Call up Giuliani to clean up the streets
Aw yeah, the era of pimps in Cadillac Eldorados with zebra stripe upholstery. porno theaters everywhere, Central Park's full of trash, needles, and homeless people, you can even score legal CP if you know where to look.

So shit that a bunch of British rockers chose to make the Big Apple their home. Because apparently it was still better than living in Britain back then.

Incredibly so. Detroit was what most of Manhattan resembled back then.
Go see the new Clint Eastwood film Joe Kidd that's playing at the theater down the street
What annoys me is the people who still can't wrap their heads around the fact that NY is pretty safe now, compared to how it was back then
>invite friend to come to NY
>"i-is it safe?"
Start a small pizzeria and with the earnings buy lots of stock.
>>60134280
Wait, CP was legal back then?
>>60134612
We were still a free country back then.
>>60134612
Yeh it wasn't actually illegal until the 90s, but I think only two studios in the US ever did child erotica and it wasn't anywhere near as common as it was in Europe back then.
>>60130094
get back to Westchester/Putnam (not the Bronx though) ASAP because NYC was still crime ridden and dangerous af back then
Walk up to Robert Christgau on the street, yell "New York Dolls suck!" and run off laughing.
>>60130988
Fuckoutta here faggot

Good, we don't want them to come here. it's a fucking playground now, do you know how many Germans I know who live in East Harlem? 40.
>>60134316
>HIV
>1972
NYC in '72 wasn't the playground it is today, but you have to wait another five years or so (like the '77 blackout and riots) for things to get really ugly.
Buy real estate I guess.
Break down and cry because I'm far away from home and don't know what to do.
