Whenever I am in NYC, I can't help but think about "How much Money it took to build everything?" It's not just the buildings, but all of the infrastructure, it's truly a staggering amount.

And the infrastructure of NYC is incredibly widespread. The Eerie Canal was essentially proposed and built by NYC in order to beat New Orleans for access to all of the resources of the Midwest. The water and aqueduct system reaches to the northern Catskills.

The blackout of 1977 got a fun reference in the 1990 series "The Flash". In the ep "Ghost in the Machine", Officer Murphy brags about winning thousands in a poker game with the Corelli twins while they were all stuck in a lift. 😂

Having lived in Cincinnati and now in Northern Kentucky for almost 60 years, I have been over the Roebling bridge here many times - by car, by bus, and on foot. Thanks for mentioning this fine structure in this episode. There was a delay in the completion of the bridge due to the Civil War. Ohio was a Union state and Kentucky was a "border state" but had lots of southern sympathizers and slave holders. When built, the city fathers in Cincinnati did not want the bridge to connect to the main roads on both sides of the river to impede Cincinnati folks from having quick access to Kentucky shops, etc. The connector roads are still the same way today - "curvy and twisted"!!!7😮

I grew up in New York City in the 1970s. It was indeed a very tough place. One thing that I don’t think is mentioned is that the violence may also have been linked to the increase of lead in the environment. Once unleaded, gas became prevalent, after a demographic delay, violence went down all over the country. There is quite a lot of evidence that lead in the environment had a role to play in the rise of violence in America during that time.

That last story reminded me of the Marvel crossover storyline of Inferno in 1989. The story was literally Hell come to New York City and the notable precursor was that it was so hot. Marvel is a New York based company, so no doubt the event influenced the story.

Hey THG, I watch your videos all the time before bed and sometimes I wish there were trigger warnings beforehand, some of the background images you use can be upsetting to see unexpectedly 😔 here specifically I am talking about the heroin needle image in the video about the blackout of 77, but in earlier videos you also discussed various forms of suicide and murder also without a verbal sensitive content warning beforehand. As a person that suffers from PTSD and is in recovery, I really dislike a sudden graphic image! But I love to listen and learn, it is history that deserves to be remembered! I just hope you take a sensitive content warning into consideration, I'm not sure if you do it sometimes or not, thank you 🫶
