I am not isn't a lost cause because of my mugging on Atlantic Ave/ENY! For me, it was a wake-up call that parts of Brooklyn, that I used to visit on the trains, were going downhill and that people like you didn't give 2 shits that they were! My 21st birthday was Oct 4th, 1969, so I rode the Myrtle el end-to-end the day before, on a Friday. I had friends from St John's Univ, who lived in Ridgewood, Queens, so I was acquainted with the el, from Bridge-Jay north. I saw those neighborhoods, south of B'way a lot! Not a pretty sight, despite your claims to the contrary!

Perhaps, I do fit into the old saying, "A conservative is a liberal who was mugged". But, add to that, I was executor or my great-aunt's will and had to sell her well kept rowhouse on Marginal Street East for $12,000- and was lucky to get it! That was 1979, Mr Lurker! Not easy when the guy next door, Jimmy Valdez was dealing drugs and women from his place. If you don't believe me, ask TUNNELRAT, who worked in that precinct. Yea, my fault, that most of the long time residents had left the neighborhood. Then people like you accuse me of bigotry when I attempt to tell the truth. So, go back to your Lurker's Guild and don't let the door hit you, on the way out!
