"East Village Eye was a monthly magazine that produced 72 issues from 1979 through 1987, focusing on the music, art, film, words, performance and social movements of the era, much of which was being made in the neighborhood it called home. The magazine is known today for its uncanny and prescient sense of culture´s evolution and direction, fluidly moving between the street, the avant-garde and the world at large."

Grandmaster Flash by Joe Stevens for NME (1981)

The South Bronx lies just across a thin stretch of the Harlem River from Manhattan, but it could be worlds away. Year by year Manhattan becomes more and more an island of privilege, the Bronx a wasteland.

Cypress Avenue, the South Bronx, does not conform to one’s image of the typical urban ghetto. It’s not crowded and chocked, it’s never been industrialised. The street doesn’t give you that boxed-in feeling. There is space and sun and air. But the evidence of advanced decay is everywhere. The buildings at the end of the block are abandoned, their windows smashed or boarded up. Garbage and rubble is piled on the sidewalk. The vacant lots that dot the landscape are also strewn with rubble.

Grandmaster Flash lives on this block.
