The "South" was jumpin' in the 80's.
Columbia St. was for those suicidal maniacs and their audience.
150th was the Vegas style Money pit.
The "Fount" was the recreational relapse arena for those seeking youth.
The "Hutch" was the hush hush 150th wanna-B.
The list goes on and on till the break of dawn.....

So true, FMJ!! And list does go on:

Francis Lewis Blvd (73rd Ave-Union Turnpike) was the "watered down" 150th street.
Cross Bay Boulevard was Queens version of South Ave.
Kent Ave, Brooklyn, was a "little known" spot to run, basically a truck route.
Clearview Expressway was similar to the Bayonne Bridge approach (S.I.). Bordered around the Cunningham Park area(Union Turnpike-73rd Ave-GCP-LIE) annexed to Francis Lewis Blvd and Union turnpike sites.
Utopia Parkway
Flatbush Ave, Brooklyn (floyd bennett field-kings plaza)
Flatbush Ave, Brooklyn (Grand Army Plaza-Empire Boulevard)
Union Turnpike (Douglaston Parkway-Stronghurst Ave)
Just a "few" ex-racing haunts!
