Was Brooklyn this bad in 1990?


Interesting time capsule. However Brooklyn looks like a slum. It’s a very nice part of NYC now.

Parts of it honestly looked like bombed out areas of WWII-era Europe.

Johnny Suede (one of Brad Pitt's first films) has some great shots of Williamsburg that show just how dilapidated it looked in the late 80s/early 90s.

Yes. This movie was based on a true story, however all the names were changed
