I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
4 stars (Very Good) An unflattering look at an ordinary New York - streets of gas guzzlers v jaywalkers - backs of drab coloured (colored) buildings - the run-down subway system graffiti & all with men seated and women standing. Terrific stuff. A valuable historical record. ~Tubbs
