Tips / Bets Milk's one year no ****ing thread

Put on a go pro and cycle about E7 with your fancy mountain bike bruv.

 

LA like a lot of US cities can be a totally different place from block to block. I know Gardena pretty well as I've got friends who live there. It's basically a few blocks away from Compton, intersected by I-110 and it's very easy to get lost around there. There's loads of poverty and petty crime on the surface there, but most of those areas are okay as long as you don't make a spectacle of yourself.

I lived in Brooklyn back in the mid 90's. It was a nice area, Park Slope. Lots of cafe's, parks and trendy shops etc, but you are only ever a few blocks or one stop on the subway away from a Ghetto. It took me ages to work out how to walk back to my apartment without walking through the dodgy neighbourhoods, the only thing that separated them visually were that some Brownstones had plant pots on the steps, whilst others had boarded up windows.

 

Like I said, if you are naive, you'll get burned.

 

Naive is code for non victim.

 

E 7

 

It was @Hoddle Is A God and that deserves a lifetime ban.

 

Some virgin guy.

 

Did you keep the peddles

 

Illinois is a long way from the coast and fairly far north... It likely hadn't been a hurricane for a long time.by the time it got to Illinois

I tried to find the restaurant from Seinfeld but ending up getting off too late (it was an Express train so probably more than one station past)... Ended up in a rough looking part of Harlem... Probably completely safe, but certainly looked a lot rougher than Manhattan or Brooklyn.

I stayed in Brooklyn at the Marriott, nice area not sure how far from you that was.... But on one of my walks exploring I noticed that the area around the hotel looks great but walk too far East and it started to look a little less well kept.

 

Yeah upper west side and Harlem, another place where a few blocks separates two different worlds.

I used to live on 5th St and 7th Ave, Park Slope, Brooklyn, a few blocks away from 7th St Subway st. Near Prospect Park. I think the Marriot is in Cobble Hill, near the Broooklyn Bridge ? Massively gentrified area these days. I used to walk along Flatbush ave and walk over the Brooklyn Bridge into lower Manhattan when I was there. That view of Manhattan from the other side of the river was incredible. This was back in the day when the twin towers were still there too.

 

Yeah.. it was near the Bridge and cobble Hill sounds familiar. Twin towers were long gone when I went. They had started on the replacement tower at that point (this was about 2 years ago).

It was fancy around the hotel... And for several blocks in any direction but you didn't have to go too far to see where "real people" lived.

 

Yank poofs.

Build better houses you inconsiderate ****s

 

Subtle as ever

 

Got as far as the OP, oops laters....
