Surreal post apocalypse cinema? Perhaps for you, for me it was my world for well over 25 years and this video was made after much of it was torn down. This is a drive through Loisada...The Lower East Side of Manhattan...Alphabet City. I lived on the top floor of a building on the corner of Avenue B and East 5th Street. I couldn't imagine wanting to live anywhere else.

After forty years I went back through the Mississippi Delta town I was raised in. The house my grandmother and I lived in was torn down.
What a depressing place. I can't imagine living there now.

And I was born in Detroit. The house I lived in when I was born was leveled in the 1967 riots...the entire block was destroyed. I was 17 at the time and the day after the destruction, I drove with some of my friends to check it out...a pile of smoking bricks with a spouting water main...on the ride back, we were stuck in a traffic jam and snipers were shooting at the cars from the roof top of the Sears department store!Those were the days, my friend!
