What an out-of-control dump this city was. I am often appalled at the disrespect some of our neighbors show to the space around them now, but one look at the bad old days makes me realize how much worse it can get.

The first thing you noticed was the grafitti. The first thing I noticed was that everyone, except for one person, is seated. If there were seats covered with graffiti today, I'd bet they'd remain empty. Wow. The first thing you noticed was the grafitti.
