There’s nothing wrong with Midtown … as long as it’s not Fraternity / Sorority row. ;)

I know I’m commenting post-facto but boy do I know what you’re talking about!! Even in Manhattan, there’s all sorts of this crap to deal with. How about the downtown v. uptown b.s.? Drives me nuts!! I guess I’ve just resigned myself to the fact that I’ve been stereotyped as a stuffy, conservative, lameass just based on the fact that I got a place that was close to my office (yes, yes…I’m a midtown girl…kill me!!)

Oh, and re the money thing, don’t these Bronx/Queens guys realize that our apartments are the size of their closets??

K, I’ll shut up now. Thanks for listening. :)

Yeah, Marsha and I lived on Manhattan when we first got there, then we moved out to Bridge & Tunnel Land. The economics are compelling.

Carlos: Wow! I never thought of that one: "it's not so much the distance as it is the lifestyle difference". Interesting. I might post about this someday ... And, about borough-hopping, I've been to the Bronx & Brooklyn too many times to count and I've been to Queens about 3-4 times. JohnJEnright: Hey, hey now ... I'll probably be a bridge and tunnel person by next year. (If I make it that far ... every day that I remain without a job makes a return to the Midwest all the more likely.) At any rate, if I'm still in Manhattan this time next year, I'll probably leave the island. It's simply too expensive. Anhoni Patel: No worries, I was totally being sarcastic. I actually really like the Brooklyn and the Bronx. I don't know enough about Queens to weigh in one way or the other. I have 1 friend who lives in Staten Island. From what I've seen, I don't know if I'd enjoy living out there. It's kind of suburban. Homosexual Suspect: Baby, when are you going to give me a tour of your neighborhood? ;) Firefly: Ooh, la, la! I'll give you one guess. :)

You’re kidding right? *laugh* It never ends. Sounds like tribalism to me *hehe*, but I get your point. As for JP – well, he does sound Steve-esque, but you never know… I wouldn’t swear dating off due to that though. By the way – where exactly is he from, in that little and faraway land people call Europe?

As someone from Queens– gasp– I have to say I agree too. Sometimes you just want someone close to you. (Unfortunately that leaves thugged out Latin man or in-the-closet rabbis in this area– but a boy can dream, can’t he?)

that is seriously lame.
Dude (him, not you) — get over it.

AND, I gasp at this: “lives in the Bronx … or, was it Queens? (Doesn’t matter, same difference.)”
