Today in New York (Central Park Edition)

It is kind of strange that we have a day to celebrate a country and a people that we carpet bombed and then nuked, not only once but twice; but then again New Yorkers never miss an opportunity to go and free food in the park.

Fleet Week provides a much needed reprieve to those serving in the Navy and Marines. I may not agree with the mission but I can appreciate an all volunteer military and the sacrifices they make. St Marks and 2nd NYC

Never acknowledged in Sex and the City or any Jerry Bruckheimer, this is the real back bone of the New York economy and the people who make our lives possible.

Today in New York

I decided to create a new thread called today in New York, chronically what I see on the street from the perspective of a living, breathing, working New Yorker.

Went out with Merser and Stan (Montreal, CA), didn't run into a whole lot of savages but got some shots off despite the fact that the sky was ugly and gray. Perhaps the sky was the omnipresent savage.

Common Misconceptions about New York City

Common Misconceptions about New York City

When people often think of NYC they think of bright lights, big city and the American aristocracy that comes with it. Sure this may exists but it accounts for less than one half of 1% of the population. Meet Floe, Mary and Jack, my neighbors in the upper east side of manhattan. The three of are a prefect representation of what the real New Yorker encompasses. The three off them have likely never ventured out side of a ten block radius in their live. All three of them were born at a local hospital, 8 blocks away. All have lived in the same apartment for most of their lives. And rather than taking a foreign vacation, most of them use their vacation time to stay home and watch fox news and friend or hold down a stoop. These New Yorkers do not enjoy in depth financial analysis of the Wall Street Journal nor new literature section of the New Yorker but rather spending their reading time engrossed in the gossip of the dirty rag known as the New York Post.
