nyricanpapi, you lived in the Bronx during the 80s, and so did your family--when did the crack epidemic begin in the Bronx?
It began in the 1970's it skyrocketed in the 1980s. You would see everybody outside using drugs and selling drugs. Everyday people would get robbed, crime was very high, etc..
