Tony the Tour Guy's Mostly 1970s NYC History Blog

Welcome to Tony the Tour Guy's blog! Here we feature Tony's rants about various topics in New York City history, with particular emphasis upon that typically unappreciated decade, the Seventies. For our purposes, the era began roughly at the time when Jimi Hendrix died (9/18/70) and ended with the presidency of Ronald Reagan and the freedom of the Iran hostages (1/20/81). We cover everything from Pet Rocks to the Moonies to Checker Taxicabs here, and welcome your participation.

Did Ed Koch Look Like Frank Perdue?



You decide.

Ed Koch: Mayor of the City of New York. To some he was a hero who saved the city from oblivion and restored pride in our town. Others thought he didn't give a hoot about anyone other than the rich. Famous for saying "How'm I doin'?" and for hosting "Saturday Night Live."

Frank Perdue: Founder of the Perdue poultry empire. Slogan: "It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken." Did his own commercials in which he talked about how his birds were fed rose petals.
