Upper West Side I think (of Manhattan)

I’m a longtime horseperson and I’ve been to NYC and seen the horses around Central park. Those horses are FINE!!!
They have better lives than a lot of people I know. Happier too. Quit drinking the Peta Kool-aid.

I had residence on the Upper West Side at several locales from 1980-85 then moved downtown ...Union Square and back up to Yorkville east before leaving for good for Miami in 88.

Upper West Side has always leaned left due to Columbia and Barnard (where my girlfriend taught).

Many of the cafes along Broadway and Amsterdam had seen their day in the 60s with radicals and Beats droning on and on with bullshite but by the 80s they were fairly dormant...Shakespeare Books was always a hang out for lefties (any bookstore is like that today) and the two Teacher's cafes were known for radicals to be seen sipping coffee and chattering but in my day more Upper West Siders were busy birthing today's leftist youth and were less involved politically and more so with work.

Anyone curious should see that video of the pro McCain folks walking down Columbus....last September.....unbelievable how bad it is now.

Columbus Ave March Here

New York seems nothing like I remember...
