Grimy???

“If 100 Centre St., where Mr. Strauss-Kahn was denied bail and ordered sent to Rikers Island, feels like stepping back into a grimy ’30s Weegee photograph, then the Brooklyn courthouse is its psychological opposite: a sparkling monument to justice, only a few years old, with polished marble surfaces and tasteful fixtures.” Wall Street Journal, Ralph/Gardner, June 2011.

“Grimy”?
