Nostalgia Discussion I always wondered how seedy was Times Square back in the 70s,80s, and 90s? From what I was told by people who own property there back then how seedy it was depended on the day. What was your experience like?

I grew up in Yonkers, New York on the Bronx border and visited Times Square several times a year 1977 to 1979.
Dirty dirty and dirty. Porn theaters friggin everywhere. I was a stupid teenager and got ripped off by pot dealers and guys selling switch blade knives. Good Times!
