    I wish I knew what to think of this but someone asked me recently what's a bad area in Manhattan aside from Harlem. Alphabet City is definitely on the top of the charts.

    Lo and behold, I come across this cluster fuck of a couple.

    Good catch. No wonder it was candid about origins and the whole story. Was thinking to myself, "wow, this is refreshing, if morbid, read".

    Btw, Alphabet City is the same and nothing has changed.

    That's disturbing on a number of levels.
