Grew up not far from the Bowery....Growing up it was always known as a skid row...Even in my time The Bowery was a seedy place filled with flop houses, dive bars after dive bars, brothels, cheap eats, and drunks sleeping it off in the streets...Then there was Blatt Billiards with those beautiful old Brunswicks, right in the middle of it...and a few other antique stores, bought an old brass, hand wind, cash register there in the very late 60s for a boutique that I was opening.the bowery boys started out as the dead end kids and also were the east side kids.
watched them all the time as a kid on my small black and white tv.
tv wasnt much in color until mid 60s when networks started showing it.
the bowery was a street in lower manhattan and also an area around it that was run down.
Earlier Bowery history is quite interesting...Cheap hookers, murders, and kidnappings...
