Posted by W Broadway Local on Sat Jul 31 19:49:20 2010, in response to The South Bronx of the 1980's, posted by SMAZ on Fri Jul 30 22:30:33 2010. Hot 97 was Hot 103 where KTU is current stationed. The transition happened in 1988 (7)? between 97 WYNY, which became a country music station. I mentioned this, because the video looks to be in the early 80's around 82/83/84/ possibly 85, but definitely not 87.A lot of "FUNK" sounding tracks in this video presentation. That was before 85. 85 was a transitional year for music. Oh! One more thing. The Bronx looked so bad, not only because of crime, but because of what Robert Mosses did. The Bronx consist of more highways than any borough. These highways cut right through established community forcing the middle class and businesses to move. And since highways traditionally move traffic through an area, the remaining businesses could not survived. The area that was mostly affected was the south Bronx. By the time the mid-to late sixties took over, the area started to really depreciate. But that happened 20 years prior to putting in those highway systems. When an area starts to depreciate, the criminal gangs start to take hold. And this is what happened in the Bronx. |
