And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I will say though will not visit tis really cool such a large part of the city is park,now,just have it a pleasant/safe park and you would be getting somewhere!
It used to be the greatest (bar none) coty in the world. In a radius of just a couple of miles you had the the NY Yankees, the NY Giants, and the Brooklyn Dodgers; tell me of just one other city like that. In Manhattan itself, within just a couple blocks walk, you could sit down and eat whatever cuisine from anywhere in world, quality, not sh*t. From the Battery (actually The Village) to Harlem, if you could afford a night out-on-the town, you could see plays, operas, music from jazz to classical all with a few square miles. Colleges, universities, trade schools, hospitals - some perhaps the best in the world. Religions living cheek by jowl with nary a dirty look. Sneer, if you will, but NY's people and accomplishments stand, along with the Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty, as something that was (yes! was) unique.
It is amazing to me that Americans will tell anyone willing to listen that they love their country are none the less first in line to say that New York (and any American city for that matter) is the worse part of the planet, Never mind that most of you have not been to New York City this century. At the same time hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists visit New York every year and love the city.
Seems like most of you should turn off OAN, Fox, etc and go see the place with your own eyes. Those that see the city in person love it.
Indeed. A lot of bitter old men on this site. New York City is still one of the coolest experiences on the planet. California is still a fantastic state.
People around here: I love America so much that I would kill anyone half a planet away that dares to chant against us. Also people here: I hate half the country, all its cities and would be willing to kill millions of Americans to make sure my preferred ideology runs the country.
That’s the beauty of America. You are free to extol the virtues of NYC and CA, and I have the freedom to disagree and not visit those places. I don’t hate the people there, there are just too many of them. Please, feel free to live as you please, where you please. I choose to not participate in your life.
I went once, stayed with my sister. Will not go again. The positives did not outweigh the negatives for me. Rude, aggressive street salesmen were the worst of it, but there were many others.
I've been there several times for work over the years. Never the same after the Coof. In summer of '22 there were huge stinking piles of garbage in the streets, near restaurants and high end hotels too. Chelsea Piers where we were docked was next to a small park where a bunch of crack heads, tweekers, and junkies slept after dark. My boss had to make appointments to go to Louis Vuitton, etc. and security would meet her at the door and lock up when she entered. I'm not much for city life but my boss declared that she wouldn't be going to NYFC again.
...and 25 years after a bunch of Muslim religious fanatics killed 3977 of our fellow citizens, the people of NY City elect a Muslim mayor. Only in America.
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

DeleteNew York City is the largest Jewish community outside of Israel—with around 960,000 Jews in the five boroughs. Tel Aviv or Jerusalem on the Hudson.
DeleteAs I understand it, Americans of the Jewish persuasion make up about 5% of the US population. They seem to mostly live in NYC and in Florida.
DeleteThat is NOT the way.
ReplyDeleteIs that a fire on the right?
ReplyDeleteWe didn't start the fire.

DeleteAnd Lionel's showroom. 15 East 26th Street, wasn't it?
Delete@ The Old Guy
DeleteI keep thinking that it was the ground floor of the Triangle Building
It's the only place I've had a handgun pulled on me and stuck in my face. Cop - who did not identity himself.
ReplyDeleteDave - FAFO... No?

You deserve what you get when you don't vote. Less than 20% voted in NYC and they got Mandami.
DeleteMake the effort and VOTE!
Or be quiet.
Same problem in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
DeleteMy sister's apartment is right ... there!
