Default Re: What's with New Yorkers?

I was born and raised in the Midwest, a Mn native...home of "Minnesota Nice"...(that means you always smile and say Hi nicely while running over the toes of someone you don't like with your shopping cart.)

I spent most of my adult life in Northern California, San Francisco and East Bay. In CA, the world is contained within the boundaries of the state...with one exception only 1/2 of the state is cool...which 1/2? Whichever 1/2 you lived in...

People from San Francisco and L.A, (they don't even use their city's whole name), like New Yorkers, when asked while traveling, where they are from, don't answer the United States, they say their city name.

What do I love about New Yorkers? They are sooo upfront. They tell it like it is, they are tough survivors of whatever life doles out and their passion is awesome to watch. They scare me a little, but they are also such fun to be around.
