I'm well aware, I just thought that was a more recent thing.

Liberty Ave also had lots of homeless alcoholics in the late 60's.

10 years ago there were used syringes all around Lawrenceville. I heard that it was big starting in the 70's - beginning with guys coming back from Vietnam and being addicted to heroin.


I was told that there were a few brothels on Ellsworth Ave in the 60's and 70s.

The adult theaters and street walkers were definitely prominent along Liberty Ave in the 80s and even in the 90s.

Yes. The riots pretty much killed Centre Avenue.
