She makes it sound like "Night of the Living Dead". <br /><br />As far as I can tell, neither of the two people in this story were actually New Yorkers (who takes a cab from Times Square to 130th? Expensive and a long-ass trip). There are far cheaper and less embarrassing ways to impress a lady.Snarkastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08840791377662211373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-39128417907122864952014-05-29T18:08:17.013-04:002014-05-29T18:08:17.013-04:00I'd really like to know when this happened &am...I'd really like to know when this happened & exactly where the poster was on 130th. There are areas of 130th that are great & areas that are sketchy, but saying "130th Street isn't the best neighborhood, and that's putting it lightly. For the little I knew about the city, even I knew that." like 130th itself *is* a neighborhood means that the OP doen't know NYC like she claims to. I've lived in the 140s for over 5 years now & while it is middle to lower-middle class, and not the same vibe as the trendier areas, it's safe, fairly clean, and definitely NOT sketchy across entire streets.

Just last month they got a new crack house on the corner. Before that, residents had to walk five blocks for a decent rock. It also has great amenities like being right in the middle of two gang turfs and an excellent drive-by kill rating. You really can't put a price on that kind of thing.The Architecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380470624299599025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-82082431305618752052014-05-29T10:01:00.125-04:002014-05-29T10:01:00.125-04:00My guess is Charles lived in this neighborhood, an...My guess is Charles lived in this neighborhood, and they would go on a walk and <a href="http://www.abadcaseofthedates.com/2010/10/after-her.html" rel="nofollow">happen by his place</a>.
