During 1997 the most IceBoxes were stolen worldwide.

I'll make it so I can give it a 1 too.

mattress store

like that guy named masttress man

+1

funny, the song you chose being called 'uptown', while Harlem literally is 'uptown'. You know, I think I saw this exact store. Madness.

+1

'Harlem, 1977-2004' RIP Harlem

RIP Manhattan. That whole island has jumped the shark.

+18

this ytmnd is racist because it implies that 20 years of black ingenuity can only create a conveniently placed mattress store.

+3

And your point is?

+3

Oh, fück you, Eric. Your'e one of those bleeding heart crybabies who scream "RACISM" every 5 minutes.

+6

You will be missed.

... or not?

+1

"this ytmnd is racist because it implies that 20 years of black ingenuity can only create a conveniently placed mattress store." Preposterous. This ytmnd is INGENIOUS because it implies that 20 years of black ingenuity can only create a conveniently placed mattress store. Get your facts straight.

+5

It's sad because as vile as some parts are it's history, as is much of the nooks and crannies of what made Manhattan great, are near gone. On another note: What the f*ck do you f*cking sh*t soft pink white nerds know about blacks aside from you walking across the street when you see one? Go curse them out from the safety of your room geeks.

+3

"It's sad because as vile as some parts are it's history, as is much of the nooks and crannies of what made Manhattan great, are near gone." Remember to thank Guiliani and Bloomberg for that.

Trust cultural erosion...For The Rest Of Your Life(TM).

+7

Its not exactly cultural erosion. the thing about new york, and what makes it great, is that the "hip" cultural area rotates around the island. Harlem had its day and it will have its day again.

I'm starting to think that there's a group of people that scan all ytmnd comments looking for the word n*gg*r and minus it... anyways... n*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rn*gg*rnig

If he planned in 1977 to make a YTMND like this, he might have..

Yeah, finally. Someone who actually sees the good side of things about this site, rather whine and cry about racism. As for the rest of you, this happens in white neighborhoods too. GET OVER IT.

I think (or at least i hope) the people that are being racist about it are being stupidly sarcastic.

<3 machine drum. also, good. you win.

Negroidians ruin everything; historical fact.

Not true, just look at Africa.....oh. Carry on.

+1

Nice, lol. Goes from ok, to bad to worse to OMG BED! To somethin else that I dont really care about ^_^

cool effect

it's interesting to watch the change in the neighborhood, albeit through the window of one store. starting off as quirky, original small business, it degenerates into a cheap convenience store, and you can also watch the grafitti build up throughout the 80's and 90's. finally, it becomes a crass-commercialized national chain. i suppose it's a sign of how the area may be recovering from hard times, but at the same time losing some of its spirit. but then, maybe it's reading to much into just one store..

+5

It's not reading too much, it's just that hardly anyone really reads at all anymore. Unless of course they were insulted over the internet or something. That or a porn advertisement. Now brb, it said I was the 99999th lucky visitor! Bahamas here I come!

This is pretty sweet.

pretty sure i've seen this done before years ago.

this

i wish it was still a smoke store

+1

That is sooo cool!

Is it wrong I want some candy cigarettes and a 40 oz. now?

grocery candy smoke shop

139 + lennox is is the Danger Zone; where no man can withstand to hold his own

that's not even really harlum, it's detroit

Was expecting a Starbucks to be in the last frame.

Give it a few more years.

+2

That Smoke Shop actually lasted quite some time. In my neighborhood stores like that last 3 years at the most.

MFER I WANT MORE ICED TEA!

Now where are you going to get your Menthols?

+2

This gets to me...

Looks like not much has changed

Now, someone do the same thing for East L.A., showing the evolution of a paneria, or a bail bonds joint.

lol, economics

Finally, them n*ggaz can get some sleep!
