“The Loisaida is sometimes known as the ghetto supermarket, where street hustling is the way of survival, a way of life…”

Take ten minutes from your day and watch this awesome vintage video, courtesy of blogger compatriot Flaming Pablum. Entitled simply Viva Loisaida, the rare film explores the Lower East Side of October 1978, “giving a brief preview before gentrification occurred.”

Colorful street scenes (e.g. Tompkins Square Park, the Christodora House, bombed-out tenements) are accompanied by narration and cutaways to various local activists of the time. We hear about common landlord practice and the demographics of the neighborhood. It’s a brilliant street-level glimpse from thirty-four years ago.

Viva Loisaida was filmed by Marlis Momber in October 1978, and produced by “Gruppe Dokumentation” & “Tylis.”

7 Figure Secrets

Hola peoples, Here is the lowdown... Back in February of 2007, Mike Filsaime held a secret Private Workshop at an undisclosed location. Over 100 people paid $5000 for the Workshop. He then took those DVD's (Which now sell for $1297) and sold it out in record fashion in under 7 days to 2500 people. Since then... over 3000 people have paid for that information. The success stories that followed have changed the face of Internet Marketing. (Filsaime, along with his 37 Staff Members, will do $10,000,000 this year in sales and is credited with showing other marketers how to grow a 7 figure Business.) SO what?! Ok so this is why I am even talking about this at all. A) I like Mike and the information he provides for what I am up to in life. B) Mike hired an Internet Marketing Expert and Copywriter (That also attended the event.) Paid this "TOP GUN" $25,000 to watch all 16 DVD's of "The 7 Figure Code" and condense it into a Masterpiece... THE RESULT... An 85 Page re...
