I remember my first trip to NYC in the summer of 1988. I was 22 yrs old. A kid from Cleveland OH. The drummer in my band and I drove out there, parked in Battery park (for free !!! we actually found 1 parking space where the parking meter had been decapitated - hahahaha) and walked and took subways through the city. I could feel the tension and edginess of the city at that time. We actually took a little hour or so nap on benches in front of the Twin Towers.
Watching this brought me back to those times. Thanks.
