The mob had majority control over the pornography industry nationwide at one point.
At one time... absolutely. But between the Internet and Rudy and Bloomberg turning Times Square into Disney World, that's pretty much over in terms of it being a cash cow for them. I loved it when it first came on but have a hard time watching it now because I can't fk'n stand Maggie Gyllenhaal, but HBO's "The Deuce" is a pretty spot-on depiction of the area during the '70s. The writers really did their homework.
Did not get there much but the 70’s were the shit ! The entire east coast cities were open and fun and a good grooming ground for a young male for the years to come.
Yup, Serp. This ain't politically correct but I really don't care. That era taught a man how to be a man. The end.
My Father is 66 years old and grew up right over the Hudson from Times Square in Jersey. Tells me stories of hopping the bus into the city at 14 years old and being served at bars, going to peep shows, going to all his hippie 1960s concerts in the Village, smoking weed in Washington Square when they used to charge you with a Felony for it back in the day, and talks about going to McSorleys (I have still yet to ever set foot in there). He did all this from 14-17 years old back in the day in the city. I dread the direction America is heading towards in the future and I’m only 35 years old.
