“New York”?
Never heard of it.
I found myself as a civilian sitting with some other civilians eating in a mess in the western Aleutians, around 2003. To make conversation one guy, a retired Army NCO and civilian contractor, started a conversation by having everyone tell the group where they grew up. One, by one, we heard, Austin, Texas, Cayce Iowa, Phoenix, Arizona. When they got to me, I said "New York", which was met by blank stares. "It's near an airport. I'm sure you've heard of it."
