i'll let you know when i make my decision.


the lower east side is the opposite of lame.

yeah i decided i can't leave manhattan. i just can't do it.

plus the old aqua tile bathroom (the tub + toilet + sink match!) totally sold me

no, it's really not. the east village yes. noho, the bowery, yes. most of the lower east side is comparatively ghetto (without being really that ghetto but i'm not moving to queens or the bronx so fuck you). i used to live on chrystie st. i know this shit.



anyway i like the neighborhood regardless of the increasing gentrification which you can't escape from ANYWHERE in new york. it's settled, no one can change my mind, i'm selling this shitpile and going back to where i belong.

you're not being helpful at all.

those people are everywhere in the entire city. the lower east side is not a cultural center, new york city is a cultural center. i'm not moving back because it's punk or cool or whatever although it is certainly cooler than my current residence, i'm moving there because i used to live there and i like it. i don't like being surrounded by people with faces full of collagen and botox and plastic tits carrying around pomeranians in their fucking versace handbags taking cabs and car services everywhere. i hate rich people. i like the puerto ricans yelling AY GRINGA at me on the street and the graffiti everywhere and abandoned stores. plus, my dealer's right around the corner.

you can take brooklyn and shove it up your ass.

i know how many rich kids are around there because i'm friends with all of them but they don't carry dogs around and act like rich assholes.
you obviously didn't hear me. i'm not living in any of the other boroughs. ever.

cantankerous, where do you really live?

73rd street


don't call me cantankerous

woah, i can't believe i missed this shite.

i used to think that the lower east side/china town area was "ghetto"....until I moved to Baltimore. new york city is so gentrified it makes me want to vomit. on one hand, i'm desperate to move back whereas on the other i worry that i'll loose all hope in humanity all over again.

i was on 73rd street a couple of times when i visited two weeks ago. i kept keeping my eye out for you. be back in the upper hell soon. zabars, botex and anorexia...the defining culture of my adolescence...

i mean ok i totally went on a rant there
but its like if i'm going to live in manhattan i might as well find somewhere i like to live vs somewhere i find repulsive you know. if i wanted to be surrounded by that i would move to LA.

LES is not 'real' ghetto, there is no real ghetto actually in manhattan if you ask me. its become very gentrified. thank you rudy giuliani :fuckyou:

anyway whats up people.
who here is actually wasted??

^ actually, according to this website (http://www.walletpop.com/insurance/m...-neighborhoods) the worst neighborhood in nyc is in upper Manhattan - the neighborhood surrounding the intersection of St. Nicholas Ave./125th St. there, you have a 1 in 9 chance of being a victim of crime. it's the 18th worst neighborhood in america.

of course, whenever i go into my office, i pass the 5th worst neighborhood in america.

the lower east side, however, has just has many rich people as the upper west side. it's just a different type. youthful yuppies instead of bulimic lawyers.

ready for drowning

you should have caught me here on the weekend

o wait... i think i DID post... somewhere

"Dan---for God's sake! The pit of the shoggoths! Down the six thousand steps . . . the abomination of abominations . . . I never would let her take me, and then I found myself there---Iä! Shub-Niggurath!---The shape rose up from the altar, and there were five hundred that howled---The Hooded Thing bleated 'Kamog! Kamog!'---that was old Ephraim's secret name in the coven---I was there, where she promised she wouldn't take me---A minute before I was locked in the library, and then I was there where she had gone with my body---in the place of utter blasphemy, the unholy pit where the black realm begins and the watcher guards the gate---I saw a shoggoth---it changed shape---I can't stand it---I'll kill her if she ever sends me there again---I'll kill that entity---her, him, it---I'll kill it! I'll kill it with my own hands!"

yeah yeah yeah. i never said the lower east side was a bad neighborhood. i said it was a worse neighborhood. it happens to be somewhere i would rather spend my time. if you have a problem with that take it to the complaint department.
you want to see ghetto shit go to east or north st louis. new york is like child's play.

its not even dangerous, it just disgusts me a whole lot less

i'm pretty wasted. not from narcotics, though.

I'm starting to belong in this thread.

my body is wasted through no real fault of my own.

I kind of can't talk, and Im not sure why. my throat BURNS, since the middle of the night..

^^My throat is terrible right now too...its mono tho, not strep...almost hurts worse than strep.

I dont have mono.

It feels like I've been puking for hours or smoked 2 pack of cigs overnight.
