Before Rudolph Giuliani cleaned it up for the benefit of Disney and megatourism, New York City's Times Square was the unholy nexus of porn, drugs and the world's oddest characters. Now the subject of a major documentary film, here is the classic sleaze-soaked obituary of the Times Square of years gone by, penned by a man who lived the lowlife and is still here to tell the tale.
Josh Alan Friedman left New York City years before his favorite beat, Times Square, was irrevocably Disneyfied. Josh is the subject of a feature length film also called "Tales of Times Square." Its completion date is this Fall. Josh also contributed to Feral House's celebrated "It's a Man's World: Men's Adventure Magazines, the Postwar Pulps."
