The South Bronx
Today there are rows of single family houses on this street. Back in the '70s this area also looked like Berlin after the war.

I have no idea why this building was painted purple. The city did a lot of strange things back then. Since the city couldn't seem to stop the arson they tried to make the buildings look inhabitated by using a plastic covering with curtains and plants stenciled on over the boarded up windows.
