I see many NY Yankees hats in TV, and smile, New Yorkers have a camaraderie that I don't see from other places except maybe Chicago. I can't speak for everyone, but I see people who didn't grow up in NY being ugly about NY, but not people from there. We know what a magical place it was to grow up.
Quick question - When were your growing up years in NYC? If they were the 50s/60s then I would tend to agree. 70s/80s? Then I'm scratching my head.
