That’s a facebook success story. I am sure more than a few people have been thankful after such a search.

Keep up the good fight in N.Y. I am originally from that area. I used to debate liberals all the time. They were completely shocked that anyone could disagree with them — at least anyone with a full set of teeth and a college education. LOL. New Yorkers often are very condescending towards Southerners. Aside from that bit of snobbery, I always admired the spunky nature of most New Yorkers.

I now live in Texas and I definitely feel more at home here.
The state government steals less of my income and I can own just about any firearm that I want. I just feel more freedom here.

Nonetheless, there are many things I miss about New York (pizza, the Mets, the Museum’s and the beaches), but the nanny-state liberalism isn’t one of them.

Oh no, you’re a Mets fan!!!

So is my husband who was born in the Bronx. There’s something communistic about a Bronx-born man supporting the Mets, lol. I was raised a Yankees fan.

Yes, New Yorkers are VERY provincial. I love to shock them by simply disagreeing with them.

What I love about New York is very much along the same lines as you. The theatre above all. In so many ways it is the greatest of cities - the cultural hot spots, the restaurants, the humor...and it can also be the dregs. I think that’s why I never get tired or bored with it. Cheers!
