The truth is a difficult thing for some. Nonetheless it is the truth :)
Besides being a New Yorker is not exactly something I would be proud about. Outside of spending more money for sports championships per capita than any other city in the industrialized world - stockmarket fraud, and mob murders there ain't a heckuvalot NY is known for.
Oh yeah Broadway plays. OK, I'll give you that one.
Then again NY has got the UN so that kind of balances it out.
I left NYC more than 20 years ago.
I would go easy on the insults to people from New York and Virginia.......Philadelphia (and all of PA for that matter) is not exactly the hotbed of honesty and integrity it may have been at one time.
