There are approximately 16,700 restaurants in Manhattan alone, a different one to eat in every day for 46 years. Then the scores of museums, theaters, clubs, more then any other city in the world.

Impressive, if you like that sort of thing. To me, heaven on earth is a balmy summer night in the south, sitting on the front porch with your family around you, watching lightning bugs and listening to the crickets chirping. There is such a sense of peace here. I just would hate such a hectic lifestyle as they have in NYC. But to each his own.

That's the second one. Am I the only one that finds it odd that someone wouldn't be interested in museums, theaters, concerts, or restaurants? Nobody's telling you to live there. Hell, I wouldn't want to live there either. But to consider all that New York has to offer to be totally worthless and not worth visiting just baffles me. By my way of thinking New York is second only to my own home town of Chicago in interesting things to do.

Maybe what they say is true? The difference between yogurt and the South is that yogurt has a living culture.

So much for culture.

"To me, heaven on earth is a balmy summer night in the south, sitting on the front porch with your family around you, watching lightning bugs and listening to the crickets chirping. There is such a sense of peace here.

You must have a garage full of RAID :)

The bottom line is as you stated, to each his own.
