Cards -140
No worries tmader. It's funny. I was born and raised in NYC. I moved to upstate NY 10 years ago. You wouldn't believe the change in how many people treat me once I tell them where I'm from. It's all smiles and handshakes when I first meet someone. Then the conversation leads to where I'm from, and the change in attitude, even facial expression, is like night and day. Anyway, go Cards.

You're down for the Cards. Don't get me wrong, used to take my wife to NYC, Manhattan to be exact, every year to shop in the diamond district right before Christmas. We'd stay at the Marriot in Times Square. I guess if I lived among 20 million other folks, my attitude would be a wee bit testy, lol. But I don't by choice, and that's a good thing.

I live close, in about 10 miles from NYC, and northern NJ is safe too, except some shitty areas of Newark (blacks...) and maybe smaller bad areas in Jersey City and other 2-3 bigger cities (blacks + latinos). Maybe.
But I live for 12 years in NJ, and never heard a gunshot.
I dunno why the hell NJ is called a very dangerous place!
That buddy of mine living at the southern tip of Manhattan is actually from Fairlawn, I'm sure ya know the town. His dad had a brokerage firm on Wall Street. We used to go to Fairlawn once or twice a year, nice quaint town. Naturally a couple of college students would travel into the Apple at night, lol.
