Doesn't really make me want to go there

This would have tonnes of nostalgia for anyone who lived or visited 42nd street during the era or anyone that wished they could have BUT there are so many disgusting stories, violent stories, dangerous stories, etc that they're not exactly making me wish I could have been there... Sure it looked cool, but the reality sounded pretty icky... Lots of talking heads, standard documentary format, decent enough stuff, but yuck...
