* * New York is one hell of a town. It is the greatest city in the world for that matter, a giant mixing of people from every religion, color, creed, culture, and any way of life that you could possibly imagine.
* * People that have never visited New York are under a false impression that New York is just like any other city in the United States and the world for that matter. This statement is not only ignorant and false, but New York is really quite the contrary. We are not any average city, we boast an extremely low crime level, which just seems to be dropping more every passing year. We have the most diverse culture than any other city in the world, and lets face it, we are the city that created the phrase "the city that never sleeps." There is just so much to do in New York day and night! We also boast one of the worlds best transportation systems, and have light traffic when compared to almost any major city in California.
* * The only way people can appreciate our city is if they actually witness being here themselves. From the Financial District to Midtown Manhattan, people do not realize how amazing this city really is until they drive up and down the wide avenues which seem like giant canyons surrounded by giant decorative buildings of glass, steel, and concrete. Manhattan has at least 20 of the worlds 100 tallest buildings which is a record still unsurpassed, and increasing every year. No other city on earth has so many tall buildings placed so densely one on top of the other, and no other city in the world can claim such a rich skyscraper history. Sure Chicago may be the birthplace of the skyscraper, but it was here, on Manhattan island, that those ideas were put to the test and tested to their limits. After over 100 years of skyscraper revolution, New York is and always has been the definitive skyscraper city.
* * I am a resident of Manhattan, i live in this city, i work in this city, i play in this city, i drive in this city, i sleep in this city. Let me tell you there is no place i would rather be. I love everything in this city, to those stupid people that hand out fliers to those livery cab drivers that always try to cut you off. Every time i am walking or driving down a street or avenue, i cannot help but feel amazed at these tall structures that we built. From Lower Manhattan to Midtiwn i still feel the exhilarating thrill of bieng so densely placed, still so proud and astounded at buildings as if i was a little boy. You have to be proud of what we have accomplished, we as a city have been through a lot, the transit strike of 1980, lol, for those of us who remember and 9/11. We New Yorkers have been strong persistent people who never give up, we may have suffered some hard blows, but we can answer right back. I am a proud New Yorker and I am not afraid to show how much I love this city. We are back and stronger than we ever were, and this construction boom that has suddenly blossomed over the past few years is just one way of showing we are the greatest city in the world.
* * You all may think i am rambling on, but i am just giving everyone some arrogant New York spirit. This is a very emotional from the heart opinion and i would love to re state this essay which i had written last year. Please feel free to comment, and remember GOD I LOVE NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
