You have been here at FR for a long time, do you remember a young girl, highschool age I think, who posted here?
She was not liberal but definitely a NYer. She said that she didn't understand how people who didn't live in NYC were able to survive? NYC was the center of the universe, in her mind, and she wondered how people were able to have jobs and buy food and clothes if they didn't live in or very near NYC.
I howled with laughter and I think all I said was “honey you need to get out more”!
No I don’t remember that, but probably would have howled just as loud as you!
It’s been 30 years since I left NYC and I haven’t missed it in YEARS!
