native new yorkers should recognize this poster. it was one of those highly detailed drawings where you could find all sorts of shit if you looked closely. there were pimps, hookers, people shooting up, muggings, lunatics, garbage and all sorts of sundry old new york stuff. this poster doesn't apply at all anymore. a newer version would include, at the worst, tourists, disney stores, starbucks, ipod touting suburbanites being rude because they think that's is how you blend in with the real new yorkers. this poster is "dated". this is my ode to the chaos and flavor nyc has lost...
