THEY WERE SPAWNED IN THE SIDESTREETS OF HELL
IN VICE, IN POVERTY, IN DESPAIR they grow to womanhood and to manhood.
Walk northwest from this street sign, and you'll hit the district where they live. Spanish Harlem, a no man's land in neon, where the kids are weaned on reefer's, lead pipes and gang wars. None escape this concrete jungle.
Chico tried. Chico, who found tender love in its back alleys, who knew there was another life beyond the block's squalor and struggled to find it - until Spanish Harlem sucked him back to its depths.
RUN, CHICO, RUN
