Thanks @Harpa I actually had a hard time finding photos!  I came alone to NYC, and meeting all new people, we just didn't take that many photos then. I was busy living life and did not carry around a camera or a phone!  Imagine that!

Surprisingly hard to find pictures online of what NYC looked like then.

Ugh, I finally remembered the name of the store I referred to in my above post, that I was beginning to think I imagined, that sold "upscale" punk clothes on Eighth Street in the Village, in NYC.  It was a Patricia Field store.

It closed 20 years ago, because New York University kicked her out.  They are killing our neighborhoods, turning them into a University Campus.  It is one of the most expensive schools in the country (it is private), and they didn't have a campus so they took over the Village and are coming up third avenue, and G_ knows how much more they'll take.  Neighborhoods forever changed.

Patricia Field was the stylist for Sex and the City and the Devil Wears Prada, and. am sure, many other things.

Love your pictures as well as your post. Born a Jersey girl and completely agree with everything you said. My neighborhoold "downtown" bears no ressemblance to what I remember growing up, Long gone.
