Having lived in and worked in NYC and the outlying areas of Queens, I witnessed it all. Anyone remember Studio 54, and others? Talk about wide open establishments! While undercover we had to follow a perp and he took us to just about every such establishment (you could get everything but a chance to get well in some of them) I remember one night after our surveillance ended, I could not get back to my apartment in Flushing (Good Name) fast enough to dump everything in the washing machine and if I could have fit in there I would have. Total debauchery! I learned alot about human behavior while working there. Semper Fi
Ah ha, paddyman even knew where the house of ill repute was. Just kidding, New York was pretty rowdy back in the 18th century huh paddyman. Jeffjay, I have one of those token's also, a sign of the times. Enjoyed your post, thanks.
