Now I know how people feel when then run into a New Yorker who thinks there is no other place on the planet. I'm a native New Yorker, and unlike yourself and most of my family, I've chosen to live here my entire life. Heaven help me, I hope I don't sound so arrogant when I speak about NY, but I probably do.
Yes, NYC is unique. It's big, it's bold, it's beautiful, it's an in-your-face city like no other. But that doesn't make it better than any other city, town or hamlet, just different.
Thanks for the eye-opener, NYCJoe. Gave me some insight into how I must sound from time to time.
P.S. It's a lot easier to read posts in which you are responding to someone when you use the quote brackets that automatically highlight the quotes to which you are replying. Otherwise it's very confusing to follow the flow of your thoughts.
