Lot's of folks love to hate New York City.
They might not really know why. They might just hate the sports fans. They might just hate the accent of New Yorkers. They might just hate the fact that they've had to hear about, "the greatest city, the Capitol of the World," for such a good part of their lives.
I am not really a New Yorker. They say you have to live here for 10 years before you can all yourself that. I have been here nearly 7. But I feel it. I feel like I'm a New Yorker now.
But I am a reluctant New Yorker. Because I'm actually a Mid-Western/Southern guy - transferred here. I probably would have never come here on my own accord. I knew it was tough. I knew it was expensive. I knew it was vastly different from what I had become used to. But, I did not know its history.
I am still no expert on its history. However, over time, living here the past 6 years - I have learned some of it - and.......
Even though I am not a New Yorker, even though I am not from here, even though I actually thought and still do think - that one must be nuts to want to live here - I acknowledge.......
That it actually is the greatest city ever. It is the Capitol of the Free World. The most important city on the Globe.
It's actually undeniable. Look it up. It's all there in the history books. No other city comes close.
Sorry about that, I too love so many other cities and towns around the US and the World. But no matter of their great import to history, no matter how nice of a place, no matter what size - nothing, no other city compares to New York City. Not one.
I am confused about leaving here. But we leave iwithbetter hopes for our family. I wish only good luck upon all New Yorkers, every color, every religion, every shape and size New Yorker.
We actually wish we could stay for ever. It's that great, it's that important of a place in our society.
New York City, like it or not - there is no more important place on our earth today. That's what makes it such a target.
I hope you all - prejudices asside - learn to appreciate it forwhat it is, for all that it is - for all that it means to the history of our country, for all that it means to the history of Freedom.
New York, New York - the greatest place now, the greatest in our most recent place past and the greatest place in the near foreseeable future.
It's undeniable.
