I like nyc, I travelled into it many times with my father growing up in the 80s. tractor trailer rides. Container piers brought us through several "downtown" type places. new jersey side had sights of statue of liberty. The twin towers was a favorite sight, given the routine, they shined every time. It seems even worse to stereotype, as that was sincerely my first decent thought of nyc....and its gone.

even the "gw" sucked forever...and the construction...barriers so tight for two lanes of bumper to bumper, and leaning the roads...we literally smacked trailer tops with other trucks. It happened so often, we thought nothing of it.

Anyway, a brighter side to this. I inherited an old 2wd subaru, 5 speed, 1993. The last year for 3 main bearings. of course 50 cents in repairs and a sense of infinite runtime, I decided to see how far I could go with 100 dollars. lo and begold, I was in south new jersey, afte rleaving from north central maine, before I turned my way back up through eastern pa. I got to drive through nyc, and didn't stop. Cheaply, with a favorite drivetrain hardly to notice. 25 hours in all, the only thing tired was me. It is ashame they stopped that mentality for that type of car. There is no more trips like that anymore, with anything, and truly liking it for physics of loooong runtimes.

 
UR more likely to get mugged in Springfield than NYC....I spent a bunch of years in the Springfield, chicopee, holyoke area for the cover band I was in...

My fav memories of NYC:

Seeing Rush at Radio City Music Hall on the absolute last day of the Signals tour...way back when,

Being thrown off the ice at Rockerfeller center for playing tag and body checks

Seeing the Nutcracker Ballet at the Metropolitan Opera House

Any food from just about any Kosher deli on Manhattan

Arriving for a highscool soocer game in Brooklyn and realizing most of the field is broken glass..

and my favorite two words... something that can really only b found in NYC IMHO... Kosher Deli

ps; Since moving here I met a guy who moved to the Bronx for several months. He was under the influence of something and thought it would B funny to steal some kids bandana off his head... I guess no one ever told him what happens when U **** with colors... Of the 8 months he spent in NYC six of it was in the hospital recovering from compound rib breaks after they beat him with a bat for insulting thier colors. I asked him if he thought he was lucky to still B alive....

I hate springfield, it's where I'm from but it's really just a crappy city with nothing going for it. the bus terminal sketched me out quite a bit in springfield.

as for NYC. i NEED to do research and find a good deli, because i didn't get a chance to really do that up. the one lunch i was around for i was in soho, so i grabbed a slice.

 
Really? Damm dude I wonder if we know some of the same folk...

Milano's..... as far as I am concerned is one of the best Za's places on the planet. Also Bianchi's on Revere Beach in MA has some pretty dope pie as well.

Mark... the people I would know out there are anywhere from the ages of 20's to late 30's depending on who it is. Most of my close friends are the older ones as I am so old I do shots of Metimucil..this could B funny and or scarey!

 
HAHAHAHA... let me talk to sum peeps I know and make sure it is OK with them to rlease their Sir names to U in a PM...
