While I was watchin JC1TV about the seminar held here in Jersey City about illgeal guns with mayors from around the country, it appears that after Healy introduced him Bloomberg said he has a special place in his heart for Jersey City and was here often because his mother was born and raised in Jersey City and went to Dickenson high-school.

Bloomy loves Jersey City cause his mother and family were from here!!!!

You are the biggest exhibitor of hometown boosterism I've ever seen, and that's not exactly a good thing.

[hHwJ229h]

I always thought the saying, "Your mother's from Jersey City!" was a grave insult.

LOL 212. Kz I was just having fun with it. I' am very proud of where I'm from. Also why do I always have to hear how NYC is the greatest city in the world and all that, but the minute I try and rep my town I get people on here rolling there eyes at me.

Very hypocritical.

[refsherne]

Well its a New York website so its expected from us. Plus we discuss NY and not just say its great! it great!

[homerdienru]

It's easy to take when folks say New York, Paris or London is the greatest because it's closer to the truth.

What you want, baby, I got it.

What you need, you know I got it.

All I'm asking is for a little respect, come on (Just a little bit)

JCman, there's something I don't understand. If I lived in Jersey City, I would be very proud of the Army Corps of Engineers at the Caven Point facility there.

Among many things, they recover dead whales from New York harbors and prepare the carcasses for necropsy. In the past 5 years, they have recovered at least 5 five whales, ranging in size from 50-60 feet.

On April 19, they retrieved and docked a 2-ton baby whale that had thrashed around Brooklyn's Gowanus Canal for 2 days before dying. I sent you a PM about this.

What I don't understand is why you wrote about Bloomberg's mother, but did not write about the great whale feats your branch of the Army Corps performs -- especially this last one.

Below is the PM I sent you.

Whale carcass hauled from Brooklyn to JERSEY CITY
Just to let you know that the baby female whale that thrashed around Brooklyn harbor for 2 days, and then died, was hauled to Jersey City. She was docked there and will get a necropsy.

The whale news starts with post #45 here:

Back to the topic at hand ...

My mother is from Indiana

[refdhbgtd]

^^^ my mom is from North Carolina.

[imporrilk]

Rapunzel you are correct about that I overlooked it I had been bakced logged with checkin my PM's and they do do a great job and they deserve a lot of credit.

With this topic I was just havign fun with it. I didn't expect to make a big deal. i was just having a little fun.

I will not however apologize for my hometown pride. To think that just the very large cities are great is an elitest attitude.

[loyalgagora]

And to think that any city is great, as long as you're from it, is an egalitarian attitude. Which one's worse?

[Erawise]

I will not however apologize for my hometown pride. To think that just the very large cities are great is an elitest attitude.

Just be glad that you got the 'large city' of New York as your neighbor as opposed to Philadelphia. :cough: Camden :cough:

No one said that, ablarc said it is closer to the truth because those cities actually are great, he said nothing about their size, thats irrelevant.

I understand you love your hometown but no matter how many times you say its great doesnt make it so. Name something GREAT it has done.
