Perhaps I should give you a medal for having one up on me. Bowing gracefully to the master of whereabouts in NY. You did say that I lack in exlusivity, oh worthy one. You're lucky, you got to experience more piss infested, graffitti smitten, agonizingly dreadful parking hunts, deathdefying train rides, homeless flashers, gang member wannabe's, sidewalks wreaking eau' de la garbage, drunks at every corner New York City. Did I miss anything? Oh yes, the most obnoxiously rude people in the country. But we do have tender hearts underneath don't we?
However, I am honored that you find my posts interesting. Possible encouragement for more participation from my end. But I must say that I find all of your posts intriguing, provoking, and overall entertaining. I no longer live in NY, we ran the neighborhood as kids. I have a love/hate relationship with NY. I don't think I can ever live there again, but I do love to visit. I make sure that we bother my mother at least once a year. You can't get away from Gino's Italian Ices and the ever so greasy, best pizza in the US. As far as the grafitti is concerned, NY'ers being the smart and savvy bunch that they are, use graffitti as a good memory tactic, you know just in case they forget their name or Nom de Plume. It comes in handy being on every wall, bus and train. Nothing like Rosey emphasized in bubble letters all over the place. That's passion inspired art, for thy self, created and reveled by LOVE.
