When I saw this, I turned to the XYL and said, I'll bet they're near ___. I was off by less than 3 blocks. Just like the "'good' old days." These guys rolled a corpse down a street in Midtown Manhattan. In broad daylight.

Quote[/b] ]You would see them around Hell’s Kitchen, the men neighbors knew as Jimmy and Fox. They were relics of the past in the once-notorious neighborhood, and now they lived on its edges.
[...]
They were tolerated, even treated with affection, although they could be trouble: Each had been arrested numerous times since the 1960s on charges including robbery, drug possession and burglary. Their neighborhood was slowly improving, and in some ways, it was leaving them behind.
“They are a throwback to the old Hell’s Kitchen,” said Paul J. Browne, a police spokesman...
After Mr. Cintron recently died, Mr. O’Hare, 65, and another friend, David Daloia, also 65, whose last known address was in Queens, tried, without success, to cash a Social Security check of Mr. Cintron’s, the police say. They realized that they needed their dead buddy’s help.
So on Tuesday afternoon, the police say, they dressed Mr. Cintron’s corpse, carried him down a flight of stairs and heaved his body into a computer chair with wheels. Outside, they rolled him over the uneven sidewalk, pulling the chair toward Pay-O-Matic, a check-cashing shop on Ninth Avenue.
Straight out of 'Weekend At Bernies' but Hell's Kitchen style. Sorry, no pools, no girls in bikinis and no Rolls Royce.
