I can't find it online, but the classic image of this
may be that after the federal gov turned down NYC's
request for money/aid, there was a newspaper with the
headline "Feds to NY...Drop Dead".

Then the south bronx lit on fire, hip-hop was born,
Rudy got rid of the squeegee guys, Brooklyn became the
new manhattan, the pizzeria next to the continental
turned into a bad falafel place, Leonardo's Pizza on
Court St. turned into a Dunkin Donuts, CBGBs moved to
Las Vegas and the rest is history.

That's not true. My girlfriend's car's windshield was
wiped minus permission while waiting to get on the
holland tunnel. So they're back, at least.
