Two-Fith and Lex: Decades later, still the same

While walking around 125th street and Lexington last week with my mother, she told me that things have gotten better. 125th street and Lex. has always, to me, been a notorious place for drug addicts and drug users to hang around. My mother grew up during the Heroin and Crack epidemic's so of course things have gotten better to her. To me it is still the same. As I walked passed the block where my grandmother's body was found in the late 90s (124 b/w Lex & 3rd) I saw the same shit. Dope fein's leaning over, and Heroin addicts with needle sticking marks on their arms. All of my grandparents lost their lives to drugs and its sad seeing that things have not changed in the area where my Grandmother lived. Last weekend was definitely a trip down memory lane.
