1982 Park Slope Food looks much less refined and genteel than Park Slope 2026, even in the Halloween photos...Still a bit of a rough edge.

On St. Mark’s Place in 1986 a crack head tried to sell me an 8-track player and tapes. During those years I spent a lot of time on that block because of Grassroots Tavern, Dojo’s, the bookstore, the cheap record shop Sounds, and St. Mark’s Comics. mrbellersneighborhood.com/20… #NYC
