What is the best/worst thing about your hometown?
Since we are all from different places I would love to know what is the best thing/worst thing about where you live. I am from NYC, born and raised in Brooklyn but currently residing in the Bronx (the home of the NY Yankees )
Best things about NYC: The museums, Broadway, Times Square, Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The christmas tree at Rockefellar Center. It is always so beautiful. The cultural diversity. Derek Jeter (shortstop for the Yanks). I have seen him at Yankee Stadium, he is even more gorgeous in person. The stores. Every major designer on the planet has a store on Madison Avenue. The food. No one makes hot dogs (Nathan's at Coney Island are divine) pizza or bagels like NY. (IMO ) We have everything. If you can't find it in NYC, it doesn't exist. Worst things about NYC: It is too expensive. Working folks can barely scrape by. It is too crowded. We are a target for terrorists. The subways. They are crowded, hot and smelly. It is too concrete. You have to go to a park just to see a tree. My poor dog is afraid of grass because he is so used to the cement. People can live next door to each other for decades and never say hello or know each other's names. I would love to hear about your hometowns. |
