New York City was a rough place in the ’70s according to this
wildly EPIC historical video recently uploaded to YouTube that
offers a glimpse of the Big Apple when it was rotten to the
core. It was a time when crime, graffiti, and drugs permeated
both the streets and the transit system.  One woman describes
what it’s like to ride the trains: “You get pushed, you get
shoved, sometimes you get mugged in the subway… during the
daylight.” Also notice the tags on the buses as well.
Apparently, driving a cab wasn’t too safe either. And that
soundtrack… Wow, folks it doesn’t get realer than this.
