[In the 1980s] I lived in a half-dozen apartments east of Avenue B [on the Lower East Side of Manhattan], alongside mostly poor Puerto Rican families who had managed to maintain a tight-knit community called Loisaida (Spanglish for Lower East Side) in the wake of severe economic decline a decade earlier. Other neighbors in the same buildings were graphic designers, feature writers, and service industry workers who paid exorbitant rents for renovated apartments. To them, Avenue B and the adjacent avenues and streets were known as Alphabet City—a relatively recent invention that represented a ‘rejuvenation’ of a landscape scarred by abandonment, arson, poverty, and a rampant illicit drug economy. The expensive apartments, restaurants and boutiques that comprised Alphabet City stood in sharp contrast to the homeless encampments in empty lots, the ethnic groceries, and the worn tenements associated with Loisaida.
