I've actually heard of Rikers a lot more than the Tombs but have never seen photos, even of the outside. <br /><br />ChristineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23925148.post-87324506478160536212009-08-12T07:53:02.784-04:002009-08-12T07:53:02.784-04:00agreed about the older versions.
