Unlike New York's 1977 blackout, with its arson and looting, last year's blackout generated many fond recollections for New Yorkers.
"It was fun for me, man," said Johnston St. Louis, 41, as he walked home through Brooklyn this week. "I'm just not prepared. Take it as it comes."
out of all 3 morons they quoted thats gotta be the dumbest one.
its especially embarrassing to me because i live in brooklyn and i see these grasshoppers all the time (remember the ants and grasshopper story).
i do remember the blackout of `77, even if i was pretty young at the time.
i recall the sense of panic as we could hear the cop sirens in the distance when we left home to go stay with my aunt and uncle for awhile.
mom was semi prepared with our medicines and such, and we each got to grab something to comfort us.
anyway before i ramble too much, what i was trying to say is i wonder how many of those questioned for the article even lived here during the `77 blackout?
i think those that lived here through both have a differnt mindset then those that probably just moved here and "will take it as it comes".
