I remember 7th and 8th avenue being called the strip (late 70's) where everyone took their muscle cars on the weekend. There was a parking lot on the west end called BS corner where everyone gathered. The east end was called hookers corner where all the call girls stood looking for customers. Many a weekend was spent crusing and checking out the other cars.
