FArmers Market NY, back in the 70's, now THERE was an area you literally carried a gun when you got out and didnt open your doors before your trailer hit the dock

Frank Click, I enjoyed his comment. Maybe he KNEW I WOULD! GET A REAL LIFE, DUDE! I have been in HIS SHOES...GLAD HE COMMENTED. REAL WORKING WORLD "EXPERIENCE!"

sorry, but why did you post this? I think the world has always been a watchful place, just out there, many times not so truthfully.

There is places like that around the world. Glad it all worked out ok,

Hello Alvin I knew a couple of truck drivers years and years ago, came across the same kind of situation. Before they left, said they were going to New York. After a month, they got back, bumped into them, asked how was their trip to NYC. Response was.....well, if you didn't stop, was great. went on to tell me, the road they came out on, after the drop was like nightmare on elm street, only in NYC, lol. They said all sorts of people, all sorts of races, waiting on street corners/stoplights for us to stop so they could come out and break into the trailer with axes and crowbars, to steal what we had. Never could find the right road to go out of the city on. My response was, I've been to NYC a few times on business in the last 6 years, it's big, fast pace and most people are brash, just horrible, not to mention very expensive, not friendly at all. Now back in the 1960's most my family relation lived in NYC, as I can remember very friendly city, easy to get around and just plain fun, fun fun. Us kids always went to Rockefeller Plaza, tried our hand ice skating, took the ferry to Stanton Island all the time, very affordable in the 60's. I remember pulling into NYC at aunt and uncles, after my mother and father drove out to NYC. we would all jump into my aunt and uncles large passenger van and head for time square. My aunt would tell us kids and cousins were dropping you kids off here, be back here in 8 hours, us adults are going shopping. Now remember were talking 1960's, all us kids were between 8-14 years. Could you imagine letting your kids run around NYC today, on their own?? Today its crime, slime and grime, LOLOLOL.

He was looking out for your safety.. You were in a very bad area...

A Detroit is pretty much a hairy area to go through. Although I heard recently that Baltimore has taken the prize of being one of the most dangerous cities in America

I loaded a couple times at a winery or distillery, cant remember, back in the late '70s, early '80s in a neighborhood like that in the Bronx. Same deal, you had to be there between 7:00 and 7:30 in the morning. Get there too late, too bad, the iron gates were shut and locked at 7:30. Didn't matter if you were first loaded or last loaded, no one left till 5:00 when they opened the gates and every truck left at once. Turned right, one block turn right, three blocks turn right, one block turn left to the interstate. Don't stop for stop signs, don't stop for red lights, don't stop if they step out in front of you. Just go! Cops just watched and waves as we went by.

Well it sounds like the cop knew something maybe you didn't. Sometimes in life there are systems and networks in place tha can never be understood or explained. Just know there is always more to the story and that its ok. Just do as he said and get the LOAD to the WAREHOUSE!

Sounds like the Bronx before they cleaned it up......cops would tell u same thing up there going into the Market....DON'T STOP FOR ANYTHING!!!!
