FUGGEDABOUDIT." I saw it on the way to the start line for the NYC Marathon and didn't have a camera, otherwise I would post an image for the forum. Maybe somebody from Brooklyn can post a snapshot.

The freaks don't even get a second look -- it is part of our culture sorry to say! That is why they say there is no other place on the earth like New York!

Jun 02 06 04:19 pm Link an example of a 'new york' look: a girl wearing a long knitted scarf around her neck with a couple of beaded necklaces or an exaggerated cross around her neck, a corduroy jacket, with tank top, a ruffled mini-skirt with some cowboy boots on or maybe even some converse all-star high tops. oh and the hairstyle would be a pixie cut with hair goop to give it an 'I just got out of bed - NOT' look. Jun 02 06 04:25 pm Link taking a pic of times square at 3am in the morning and its still crowded with people walking all over the place and traffic still a nightmare yankee staduim... and a series of projects next to the stadium in the pic, lol pics of broadway & lafayette and the traffic is a nightmare in addition to about 10 million people walking on one sidewalk, lol a pic inside a subway station with camera shake (because of the new rules, cant shoot in the subway system like that except for exceptions, which means the camera shake is for sneaking the shot quickly... unless its on the L train, where you can take your dearest time, lol) union square looking like a peace rally when its nothing more than skateboarders and regular people hanging out and most of all, cant have a series of new york city shots without a shot of the manhattan or brooklyn bridge from either the promenade or from DUMBO Jun 02 06 04:27 pm Link butter roll bagel Jun 02 06 06:10 pm Link images by elahi wrote: I like getting a bagel w/cream cheese at a shop in Penn Station (on the floor where the Long Island Rail Road is).

Jun 10 06 10:28 am Link The view from afar: 10 million people eating hot dogs made from cattle they've never seen graze and lox made from salmon they've never seen swim on buns and bagels made from wheat grown in fields they've never seen on soil they think of as dirt 10 million people living on tons of asphalt and concrete made from petroleum and minerals mined from pits other people's back yards and arcitc plains too far away to matter so they never have to see the grass that once kept Long Island from washing away 10 million people driving bumper to bumper in 4wd vehicles and fast sports cars on roads that never see mud, where speed is impossible in vehicles that have only sparkle utility 10 million people from all over the world crowded onto a tiny island never knowing the meaning of neighbor 10 million people coming together to create a cultural miracle insulating themselves from the basic miracles of life I've never been to NYC, and I'm sure some of my perceptions are warped. I'd love to see it some day, but I'm glad I don't live there. I dated a girl from Broolyn for a while, many years ago. She simply wasn't able to understand the meaning of a connection with the land or the value of knowing what your food ate. Several months with her made me both envy and grieve for the people in NYC.

However I do think that an awful lot of people who live in areas where concrete and asphalt are hard to find would come up with similar words to mine when asked "what words that mean New York." To an awful lot of Americans, particularly in the west, New York is a big, wonderous, far-away place where many of the things we consider life's essentials are as rare as concrete and asphalt are where we live.
