linoleum knife

right now im waiting to see if my old boss will be able to make it into the city so i decided to put up some pics from yesterday when me and john walked down bowery aka former "skid row" (crime, brothels, murder, gay bars, cheap saloons) and residence of the "bowery boys" gang. this led us to 5 points, a crossing of 5 streets buried within notorious gang ridden slums. home to death, disease, and infamous fights in early to late 1800s, as portrayed in the true-to-life movie "gangs of new york"
