Gee, you mean there's actually something out there on the other side of the Hudson?
Mike, do you remember a New Yorker cover, or maybe it was a poster, from the early '70's that depicted just that...a New Yorkers' view of the US, with the City front and center and the rest of the country beyond the Hudson waaaaayyy off in the distance. I had one in my room during college and I remembered keeping crayons nearby for those who were so inclined, usually after indulging in some... uh... illicit substances, to color the poster as they wished.
But, hey, I no longer think that way. I know there's a right coast and a left coast and the fly over zone in between.
No, really, honestly and truly, I love New York, but I also totally respect every other state in the Union. Man, does that sound trite and insincere, or what. But I do mean it. Really!
